Communications Insight For More Inspiring Leaders A Classic Mistake

A Classic Mistake

Classic Mistake
 
Here’s a classic mistake when asking a question of a speaker.

To ask two? Or three? Or even four? All packed into one? As if a mini-speech which no-one else in the room is really interested in. They just want an answer from the speaker.

To the one question.

Not four.

Short, clear, single-minded questions invariably yield the most revealing answers.

What’s yours?

 In over 20 years of working in international politics and training candidates, I have never seen a more remarkable improvement in speaking abilities in such a short space of time.
