The Miniature Guide to the Art of Asking Essential Questions

Linda Elder, Richard Paul

Why I recommend it

This is an easy, practical read on critical thinking and management. I’d put it in a manager’s toolkit.

What stayed with me

Better questions can change the whole discussion. It made me think more carefully about how I prepare and facilitate.

Who it’s useful for

Managers, coaches, and people helping a group think together.

A limitation

The guide is brief. Learning to ask a good question and give it time still takes practice.
