Leading with Questions: How Leaders Find the Right Solutions by Knowing What to Ask

I had very high expectations from this book. I had hoped to learn some useful techniques in improving my technique of posing questions. I was disappointed to find out that 90% of book only talks about the importance of asking questions. It would not be an overstatement that this 6 hour book can be summarized in less than 20 minutes.

First, I'll say that I think the content of this book is important, and that although it was painful, I learned something and it had made me think about my interactions with my co-workers. That being said:

1) The book could have been a lot shorter. It was very repetitive, and many sections were just lists, which don't read well. Was this a 1 hour PowerPoint that got expanded into a 7 hour book?

2) I expected this to be narrated well, since it was read by the author. However, his reading was so slow and halting that it was hard to believe that he had written the words given his apparent unfamiliarity with them. I have to believe that he was the victim of a bad coach who insisted that he slow down, unfortunately to the point of going below the tempo of natural speech.

The narration on this is horrible. Content is long and belaboring. I listened to the whole book, but gave up interest after the first 2 hours. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

I was interested in buying this book because I love asking questions and wanted to learn more about how to ask the right ones. Nothing new here. This book is not worth the credit. It's highly repetitive and is based on a very shallow interviews of executives of companies that are not necessarily even successful (the author himself says he interviewed the ones who their colleagues thought were successful, not the market). All of the information that this book contains could be laid down in a blog post. The narration is fine, but it doesn't help.

Not applicable

Chapter 4: Asking the right questions (In Audible, it's chapter 5)

Reading was too slow and less than eloquent.

No

Good ideas, but very repetitive with few actual examples.

I have to agree with some of the other reviewers. Bad narratives and plethora of examples to explain the leading with questioning culture is not necessary. While, someone like me can recognize the importance of the questioning culture in the first 2 chapters, I would have appreciated more examples and coaching.

It is still a good book to listen or read if you have the patients.

Great content, well organized around a important theme. Highly recommended.
