That Highly Effective Business Leaders Ask 

In this intensive, hands-on workshop, you will learn questions that highly effective business leaders ask - questions that make a significant difference to your business.

How will you know if a proposal is flawed?  How do you indentify a time bomb lurking in a report?  How do you get past self-serving 'spin' and elicit the facts and accountability?

In Powerful Questions you will learn to identify the language patterns that create traps and pitfalls (and financial loss) for the unsuspecting business leader, together with questioning strategies to deal with those patterns, including:

• how to probe, test, clarify, verify and elicit facts
• how to recognise when someone is avoiding a problem or hiding information
• how to ensure the best information and data is obtained from due diligence enquiries
• how to identify hidden motivators and agendas
• how to challenge assumptions, beliefs and opinions and identify facts and risk
• how to expose deficiencies in proposals, reports, process and strategy
• how to generate accountability and responsibility
• how to clarify meaning and intention of other people
• how to turn disagreements into a positive outcome.

Powerful Questions That Highly Effective Business Leaders Ask focuses on the business end of those questions and puts you in command of excellent leadership communication, influencing and decision-making capability at all times, on all issues.

• build a strong, effective Board, Executive and Management culture that elicits the best from the various talents of the company's leaders
• instil ethics, integrity, openness, honesty, personal responsibility, accountability and similar values at all levels and throughout the company
