I'm not sure that I understand why most of this action happened around 2010 and nothing much has gone on since. What was it that encouraged the participation of that era?
What struck me about the whole idea of questions is regarded as stressful by most people. Questions are threatening. It implies the person who is asking has the right to demand you read their mind or suffer if you guess wrong.
Being able to observe oneself, to welcome unfamiliarity and be comfortable with ambiguity while a question hangs in the air unanswered is a very privileged point of view to have gained...especially after having made it through the USA school system.

The Art of Powerful Questions by Eric Vogt, Juanita Brown and David Issacs http://www.theworldcafe.com/pdfs/aopq.pdf is a fantastic resource on how to frame strategic questions. I especially found the 3 dimensions of powerful questions - scope, assumptions and construction - profoundly impactful to the participants in my workshops. Congratulations to the authors and collaborators for your generous contribution!

Hello eveyone! I loved some of the themes of your conversations. In our work with leaders we explore "where the questopn comes from"- i.e. intent. We especially focus on this in our Coaching for Potential seminar, when leaders are honing their coaching capabilities and moving away from their performance management mode. Has anyone got stories to share around this topic? Look forward to hearing from you. A

I went to a university called St. John's College, based on reading the great books. What was truly amazing about the pedagogy was the seminar. Some twenty students and 2 professors would read and discuss various classic texts. The seminar always started out with a question. What this taught me was that trying to answer a question is the best way to learn. In fact, trying to come up with a good question is an art in itself...

Questions and the refinement of questions is a powerful means of expanding awareness around issues as well cultivating a level of curiosity and creativity that has the power to transform design limitations and evolve systems to their best potential.
