have a consulting partner who believes the phrase ‘tell me more’ is the key to better understanding. Think about it:
aren’t you tempted but afraid to ask that when listening to instructions; and
don’t you try extra hard to explain your ideas more clearly when someone asks
you that? I’d have been out of luck if I hadn’t asked our computer people to
tell me more about the things computers could or could not do: with that they
were pressed to explain both the limitations as well as the underlying
capabilities of the systems I wanted them to develop. That’s how I ultimately
succeeded in getting a paperless HR environment at Wynn: my focused questions
stimulated our team’s creativity. Don’t be afraid to pose well-worded questions
and get to the heart of the things you and your team are working on. That’s the
best way to unleash creativity today.
