2018 Nautilus Book Awards Silver Winner What if you could unlock a
better answer to your most vexing problem-in your workplace,
community, or home life-just by changing the question? Talk to
creative problem-solvers and they will often tell you, the key to
their success is asking a different question. Take Debbie Sterling,
the social entrepreneur who created GoldieBlox. The idea came when
a friend complained about too few women in engineering and Sterling
wondered aloud: "why are all the great building toys made for
boys?" Or consider Nobel laureate Richard Thaler, who asked: "would
it change economic theory if we stopped pretending people were
rational?" Or listen to Jeff Bezos whose relentless approach to
problem solving has fueled Amazon's exponential growth: "Getting
the right question is key to getting the right answer." Great
questions like these have a catalytic quality-that is, they
dissolve barriers to creative thinking and channel the pursuit of
solutions into new, accelerated pathways. Often, the moment they
are voiced, they have the paradoxical effect of being utterly
surprising yet instantly obvious. For innovation and leadership
guru Hal Gregersen, the power of questions has always been
clear-but it took some years for the follow-on question to hit him:
If so much depends on fresh questions, shouldn't we know more about
how to arrive at them? That sent him on a research quest ultimately
including over two hundred interviews with creative thinkers.
Questions Are the Answer delivers the insights Gregersen gained
about the conditions that give rise to catalytic questions-and
breakthrough insights-and how anyone can create them.
