The Power of Asking 'Why'

Asking 'why' is a powerful technique for getting to the core of issues. By asking 'why is blank not going well?' the speaker was able to bypass superficial praise and get to the heart of the matter. This approach encourages honesty and in-depth explanations, providing valuable insights into what's not working and how to address it effectively. By focusing on the 'why,' the speaker was able to cut through the instinctive desire to give positive feedback and instead uncover genuine concerns and challenges.
