"Why?" is an incredibly popular question.
I think it has problems. I try to avoid it when I'm consulting.
In this show we will examine "Why?" and under what circumstances I do use it.
"Why?" is almost a default question because it can take the place of every other question. It is easy to ask. We don't even need to know what answer we want. It's also a very ambiguous question, and when we ask why there is a risk that people try to read into our motivation, and that people might take offence.
When consulting I avoid Why? questions, unless I want to find out about beliefs.
We will cover Why do we actually ask why? and explain how it is an ambiguous question.
We will cover the Five Whys technique, when it works and when to avoid it.
How to avoid resistance when you ask questions.
