About this listen
The key to effective communication. Communication is essential in a healthy organization. But all too often when we interact with people - especially those who report to us - we simply tell them what we think they need to know. This shuts them down. To generate bold new ideas, to avoid disastrous mistakes, to develop agility and flexibility, we need to practice Humble Inquiry. Ed Schein defines Humble Inquiry as "the fine art of drawing someone out, of asking questions to which you do not know the answer, of building a relationship based on curiosity and interest in the other person." In this seminal work, Schein contrasts Humble Inquiry with other kinds of inquiry, shows the benefits Humble Inquiry provides in many different settings, and offers advice on overcoming the cultural, organizational, and psychological barriers that keep us from practicing it.

Would you consider the audio edition of Humble Inquiry to be better than the print version?
I always choose the audio edition because of the flexibility in listening to it anywhereWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Humble Inquiry?
It is a recipe for our times, when the art of humility may be getting lostDid you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me hopeful that there is a silent majority out there who aren't the ones grabbing the headlines and still have values such as humility that are important to themSchein's quality of thinking shines through!

I have already updated an email and some conversations based on this book. Instead of saying, “We should do this?”, I asked, “Is this something that would make the way we work together easier?” and “Is this something we could develop together?”
Sometimes, it seemed unnecessarily long. But given the helpfulness of the premise of the book. It is easily forgiven.
Ask, don’t tell. Listen without status

interesting and perhaps even enlightening for anyone who does not read or listen to books about psychology, sociology and social sciences. However if you have a reasonable understanding of these fields this books a very simple reminder with some interesting examples.
listen more than you speak: nothing new
