Here I go...Telling you about Asking

by Rick Baker
On Apr 20, 2017

I’m telling you that you must cut down on telling people what to do and start asking more questions.

Isn’t that oxymoronic?

Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black?

Isn’t that an ego out of control?

Maybe...I don’t think so…could I be wrong?

But, could my ego-denial be due to my attribution bias impairing my perceptions and skewing my judgement?

Regardless, perhaps there is a seed of wisdom in my argument that questions deserve a larger share of your mind-space, your thoughts, and your interactions with people? Perhaps, you can agree your attribution bias causes you to be harsher than required when opining on other people’s work? Perhaps, you can try to step away from your attribution bias and consider asking more questions? Perhaps, you can listen attentively while people respond to your questions? And, perhaps you can observe people more carefully, seeking out their ‘positives’ rather than their ‘negatives’?

Perhaps, you can deliver more pats on all those backs?
