    Learning and working together

    The Leading with Questions program introduces you to the basic principles of action-based learning, the common thread running through all WIAL Netherlands programs. It ensures that you really listen to each other, learn to understand the context, have the real conversation and work on reflective capacity.

    Together with the other colleagues, you enter the learning process and help each other become aware of the learning moments. This is enhanced as you participate and observe from different roles - observer, questioner and question recipient.

    Instant returns for you

    You will develop awareness and skills during Leading with Questions about how you are in the conversation now and how that comes across to another person.

     

    The development that participants say they are going through is:

     

    I now hear myself asking a closed question or a question with an opinion. I now realize that I am not yet staying with my question with the other person's answer. I am now beginning to invite others to make it an open question. I am now correcting myself to turn a closed question into an open question.

     

    Afterwards, participants indicated that they asked open diagnostic questions and began to follow through on the other person's answer. That they have started using check questions to make sure they have understood the other person correctly and to let the other person know that they really hear the other person. Participants also indicate that their questions are no longer only in the upper stream, but also in the lower stream. That they now ask questions they were afraid to ask before. That they have begun to ask convergent and divergent questions in conversation and that silence is no longer scary, but helps them. That participants indicate that they are less likely to debate whose arguments are the right ones, but instead seek dialogue to obtain new information before a choice is made. And that during the conversation, real bonding with the other team members is much more common.

    What others are saying

    "You connect with the other person by asking good questions. The better the connection. The better you know what you have and can expect from each other."

    "You can get more out of a conversation. By asking the right questions, you get more information!"

    Participant

    From an evaluation form from an LWQ participant

    "I learned to ask better questions by including check questions, asking through on the answer, mirroring and using both undercurrent and upstream questions in this."
