October 2007- Creating Breakthroughs: Unleashing the Power of Smart Questions
"Smart Questions" involves working with and enabling others to obtain information for planning, designing, improving and developing solutions that significantly increases the likelihood of success.
In Creating Breakthroughs: Unleashing the Power of Smart Questions, we will share how effective leaders think - how they balance the current demands of leadership with the complexity of modern business life and incorporate the challenges of working together across various boundaries including time, culture, geography and technology. We will help you assess your Smart Questions Quotient ... a first step in creating your own personal plan for Learning to Think Like a Leader.
