How can I ask questions more effectively?

To ask questions effectively, start by being clear about what you want to know. Can you give me an example?

I want to understand how to get better answers in meetings.

In meetings, try to ask open-ended questions that encourage discussion. For instance, instead of asking 'Is this a good idea?', you could ask 'What are the potential benefits and drawbacks of this idea?'.

That makes sense! What about follow-up questions?

Follow-up questions are crucial! They show you're engaged. You might ask, 'Can you elaborate on that point?' or 'How did you come to that conclusion?'.

Thanks! This is really helpful.
