Book Description
A smart way to find the answers we need to succeed-in business, relationships, and life.
Questions...
demand answers
stimulate thinking
give us valuable information
put us in control
get people to open up
lead to quality listening
get people to sell themselves
They're an essential tool of the seeker and the problem-solver, and in our personal and professional lives, they can make the difference between getting what we want and going without. Questions have power-and by harnessing that power, we can change our world. This unique book reveals the seven powers of questions-and shows how to use them most effectively. Learn how questions can improve relationships, help determine what people really want, uncover opportunities, persuade others, and get more out of every business or personal encounter.
"Impressive in its insights and practical applications, The 7 Powers of Questions gives us an entirely new way to turn an ordinary conversations tool into a formidable ally."--Michael R. Bloomberg, Founder & CEO of Bloomberg LP

this book is all about getting people to "open up" through the use of carefully designed questions. the reader will learn how to influence other people's behavior via questioning - and, importantly, listening. the author does a good job in demonstrating the value of "leading" people, through the deliberative process, to sound judgements and opinions. this book goes well beyond what the title promises. it will teach you how to control the direction of conversations with desired outcomes achieved. being a coach myself, i would have liked a few more actual examples included in the text.

Great book that should be a part of every professionals library who is serious about their development. This book will prompt most to start asking more (and ultimately higher quality) questions. Many readers will make their 'questions' a new and powerful habit! For 14 bucks, what more can you ask for? Great job Dorothy!

I am a college senior job hunting right now and decided to get this book to improve my communication skills. I'm only through about half of this book and already love it. It has so much great information about improving communication. I have actually started using some of the information in the book...asking a lot more questions than I used to, and I have seen excellent results!

I saw Dorothy Leeds at a book talk and was so impressed that I had to buy her book. I am very impressed at the breadth of occupations and life situations to which her writing applies. It is very practical information that almost anyone can use. I am in the field of education, and it will certainly help me to ask better questions as a teacher. You won't be disappointed.

This book is easy to read and full of great examples. I've started asking better questions already and I've noticed my job performance getting better. My wife read the book, too, and I think our marriage will benefit more and more as we communicate better -- all because of asking good questions.
