QUESTIONS ARE THE ANSWER - HAL GREGERSEN GEBUNDEN

What if you could unlock a better answer to your most vexing problem-in your workplace 
community  or home life-just by changing the question? Talk to creative problem-solvers and
they will often tell you  the key to their success is asking a different question. Take Debbie
Sterling  the social entrepreneur who created GoldieBlox. The idea came when a friend
complained about too few women in engineering and Sterling wondered aloud: why are all the
great building toys made for boys? Or consider Nobel laureate Richard Thaler  who asked: would
it change economic theory if we stopped pretending people were rational? Or listen to
technologist Elon Musk  who routinely challenges assumptions with questions like: What are
people accepting as an industry standard when there's room for significant improvement? Great
questions like these have a catalytic quality-that is  they dissolve barriers to creative
thinking and channel the pursuit of solutions into new  accelerated pathways. Often  the moment
they are voiced  they have the paradoxical effect of being utterly surprising yet instantly
obvious. For innovation and leadership guru Hal Gregersen  the power of questions has always
been clear-but it took some years for the follow-on question to hit him: If so much depends on
fresh questions  shouldn't we know more about how to arrive at them? That sent him on a
research quest ultimately including over two hundred interviews with creative thinkers.
Questions Are the Answer delivers the insights Gregersen gained about the conditions that give
rise to catalytic questions-and breakthrough insights-and how anyone can create them.
