Brainwriting is a powerful tool that mitigates a group’s tendency to repeat what others have stated (known as groupthink) and lessens the negative effects of certain cognitive and motivational biases that can be detrimental to team effectiveness and decision quality.
Join this unique and highly-praised workshop–designed and led by an instructor with more than 30 years of experience in leading teams across multiple industries–to improve your skill in leveraging the potential of your team to improve must-succeed meeting outcomes. Topics include how to mitigate social influences and biases, effectively frame problems, navigate the messy decision, deal with difficult behaviors, create alignment when faced with multiple objectives, and ask the better questions to improve team engagement and foster deeper thinking.
It’s a skill that everyone recognizes leaders need but it is one that is rarely taught. Rooted in the instructor’s extensive research and experience of asking better questions, we teach you how to ask the better question. Whether you are wanting to improve your stakeholder interviews, lead better strategy or business planning discussions, enrich your 1:1 direct report meetings, or enhance the rigor of your decision-making meetings, this application-focused workshop will improve your fluency in the language of questioning.
