Using smart questions to get better answers

- Have you ever rushed to find a solution only to realize afterwards that a better solution was lurking in plain sight? When we rush to identify solutions, we limit our choices. Finding the right question is often the key to finding the best solution. My goal in this course is to give you actionable strategies for using questions to reimagine what's possible. Recognize opportunities you couldn't see before and create an extraordinary advantage to shape the future of your industry. I'm Ozan Varol. I'm a rocket scientist turned award-winning professor and best-selling author of "Think Like a Rocket Scientist: Simple Strategies You Can Use to Make Giant Leaps in Work and Life." In this course, I'm going to walk you through ways that you can use questions to make better decisions, generate better answers and become a better leader. You'll learn why most decisions made by business leaders fail and what you can do about it. I'll reveal the one question most people miss in making decisions. You'll discover how to question outdated assumptions and a simple tweak you can make to the phrasing of your questions to get the most informative responses. Along the way, I'll give you really practical tips and specific questions you can use to start making the best decisions possible. Because breakthroughs, contrary to popular wisdom, don't begin with a smart answer, they begin with a smart question.
