💡 The questions that get leaders and teams into trouble are the ones they fail to ask.
Coming up with great questions takes conscious effort to overcome individual and collective habits and preoccupations. With a limited amount of time in every meeting, we need to make sure we’re asking the most important questions.
This exercise can be done solo or with a team and is designed to create a well-balanced range of critical prompts.
Brainstorm and then prioritize using imaginary dollars. Have each participant join the game, add questions, and then allocate $100 across their favorite. When everyone's done voting, reveal everyone’s allocation to inform your next discussion.
The future of work is so bright!
