Multipliers ask questions to stimulate thinking from "summary" of Multipliers by Liz Wiseman,Greg McKeown
Multipliers have a natural curiosity that drives them to ask questions that challenge assumptions, provoke new ideas, and stimulate thinking. They approach conversations with a genuine desire to learn and understand, rather than to simply impart knowledge or expertise. By asking thoughtful questions, Multipliers create space for others to think deeply and critically about the issues at hand.
When Multipliers ask questions, they are not seeking to demonstrate their own intelligence or expertise. Instead, they are genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives and exploring new possibilities. They understand that asking questions is a powerful way to engage others, foster creativity, and drive innovation.
One of the key skills of Multipliers is the ability to ask open-ended questions that encourage others to think beyond the obvious and consider different angles. These types of questions do not have a single "right" answer, but rather invite individuals to explore multiple possibilities and challenge their own assumptions.
In addition to asking open-ended questions, Multipliers also use probing questions to dig deeper into a topic or challenge others to think more critically. These questions are designed to uncover underlying issues, clarify assumptions, and push individuals to consider alternative viewpoints.
By asking questions that stimulate thinking, Multipliers empower their team members to stretch their minds, develop their problem-solving skills, and unlock their full potential. Rather than providing all the answers, Multipliers use questions as a tool to inspire curiosity, spark creativity, and drive continuous learning and growth within their organizations.
