Effective questioning There are several very valid questions: 1. What are the viable alternatives? 2. What advantages and disadvantages do you see in this proposal? 3. Can you be more explicit about your considerations? 4. What is your goal? 5. How would you describe the current situation? 6. What are the options for improvement? 7. When do you think you will be able to take action? The better the questions are asked, the better the insight and the better the solutions.
