About this ebook
Communication is essential in a healthy organization. But all too often when we interact with people—especially those who report to us—we simply tell them what we think they need to know. This shuts them down. To generate bold new ideas, to avoid disastrous mistakes, to develop agility and flexibility, we need to practice Humble Inquiry.
Ed Schein defines Humble Inquiry as “the fine art of drawing someone out, of asking questions to which you do not know the answer, of building a relationship based on curiosity and interest in the other person.” In this seminal work, Schein contrasts Humble Inquiry with other kinds of inquiry, shows the benefits Humble Inquiry provides in many different settings, and offers advice on overcoming the cultural, organizational, and psychological barriers that keep us from practicing it.

" Good communication requires building a Trusting relationship and building a Trusting Relationship requires Humble Inquiry " ... Once again useless to say how humility is key and the absolute Cornerstone of effective communication ... March, 16th - 2014
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A great idea that doesn't need an entire book devoted to it. Idea: Don't be a jerk when being a leader. Easy.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have recommended this book to educators. The advice offered is helpful, clear, and useful in many situations. As a teacher I will strive to slow down, reflect more, become mindful and sensitive to needs, and build relationships.
