The Importance of Asking the Right Questions

Good Morning People!!!

Gaylen walked into the job trailer with a bag of potatoes and straws. He looked at the seven new electrical apprentices standing just inside the door and began handing each one a potato and a straw. They looked bewildered as they received these items from their new foreman. He then told them he had a meeting with the fire inspector and would return in 15 minutes, but while he was gone, he wanted them to push their straws completely through the potatoes. No one spoke, so he asked if there were any questions. After hearing none, he left. When he returned, the trailer was filled with broken straws. He told them that in an electrical situation, they’d all be dead. Because no one asked for directions, they had all failed their first challenge. Want to know the worst question you could possibly ask? No question at all.

Happy Taco Tuesday, my Weekday Warriors! Time to let go of Monday's harsh conditions and make room for the beautiful outcomes of Tuesday! Your KC metro area weather starts off in the mid-50s and reaches a high of only 73 degrees today. Today's topic is ‘The Importance of Asking the Right Questions.’

“Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers." – Voltaire.

The importance of asking the right questions cannot be overstated. You see, good questions open doors, spark innovation, and lead to clearer understanding. So listen up, people: asking the right questions allows you to dig deeper beneath the surface and discover what really matters. It's not just about getting answers, it's about gaining insight, challenging your thinking, and ultimately, growing.

In any situation, the quality of the questions you ask will shape the outcome. So the next time someone presents a challenge, don’t just leave it to chance and risk it. Ask the right questions and you will unlock the best solutions.
