Summary

What hidden skill links successful people in all walks of life--across cultures, industries, generations . . . all of time? The answer is surprisingly simple: they know how to ask the right questions at the right time. Questions help us break down barriers, discover secrets, solve puzzles, and imagine new ways of doing things. The right question can provide for us not only the answer we need right then but also the ones we’ll need tomorrow. Emmy award–winning journalist and media expert Frank Sesno wants to teach you how to question others in a methodical, intentional way so that you can find the same success that others have found by mastering this simple skill. From the author’s illuminating interviews that he has included in the book, you will learn:• How the Gates Foundation used strategic questions to plan its battle against malaria• How turnaround expert Steve Miller uses diagnostic questions to get to the heart of a company's problems• How creative questions animated a couple of techie dreamers to brainstorm Uber • How journalist Anderson Cooper uses confrontational questions to hold people accountableThroughout Ask More, you’ll explore all different types of inquiries--from questions that cement relationships, to those that will help you plan for the future. By the end, you’ll know what to ask and when, what you should listen for, and what you can expect as the outcome.

    The Management Humbug
    Authentic stories ironically debunk management myths
    
    Since the broadcast of the British sitcom "The Office" and such counterparts as France's "Le Bureau", Canada's "La Job" or Germany's "Stromberg", even the man in the street suspects that the world of management is not quite as illustrious as it may appear at first glance. While management gurus praise their unerring success strategies, management in real life looks rather different. Where managers refer to reason and rational decision-making citing business economics, the reality of management actually follows the rules of psychology and sociology.
    Typically, what managers like to sell as competence is essentially a myth distracting from the driving forces behind management: status, careerism, vanity … you name it. Looking at business from this angle can make management narratives wonderfully entertaining.
    In this book, the ex-manager and sociologist Dr. Ralf Lisch has recorded some of the best scenarios. He condenses his comprehensive practical management experience into ten paradigmatic stories from the wondrous world of international management.
    The result is an ironic broadside against arrogance and snootiness in management - proving that managers are no different from common folk.
    Target group: managers, future managers as well as everybody who wants to better understand how things really are in management.
