We start asking the different question- and it's provocative and compelling, reminds me of the prayer of Saint Francis: seek not to be understood, but to understand, to give it a spiritual connotation, the outside of just being a good business practice or a good practice with your family.
Ever wondered why some people seem to have all the answers? It might just be because they know how to ask the right questions. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Hal Gregersen, the Executive Director of the Leadership Center at MIT and a renowned author recognized as one of the World’s 50 Most Innovative Minds by Thinkers 500.
Hal dives into his book, 'Questions are the Answer: A Breakthrough Approach to Your Most Vexing Problems at Work and in Life', and shares his fascinating journey from experiencing a life-changing heart attack to becoming a master of inquiry. He discusses how identifying 'shadow questions' and embracing a beginner's mindset can unlock solutions to our toughest challenges.
Through compelling stories, including that of Alexander Papaderos, a young boy who found joy in shining light into dark places, Hal inspires listeners to shift from 'telling' to 'observing and listening'. He emphasizes the importance of avoiding assumptions and typecasting, and instead, focusing on genuine curiosity and reflection.
This episode is packed with practical advice and inspiring tales that encourage us to rethink how we approach problems, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking to improve their questioning skills and personal growth.
