“There are no right answers to wrong questions.”–Ursula K. Le Guin
错误的问题是得不到正确的结果的
你的结果: 学会如何问关键的问题来帮助你立即改善你的结果
在30天敏捷结果:开篇中说到接下来我们将进行敏捷结果练习,前一篇学习了19:你在为谁做事?,今天我们要进行Getting Result练习的第20天:好的问题可以获得好的结果(Day 20 — Ask Better Questions, Get Better Results)
问问题是一个需要自己不断发生的事情,你问的越好对你来说可以获得更多。通过改善你问自己的问题,你可以改善你生活中不同热点区域的生活质量。
为什么要问问题
问对问题可以帮助我们平衡、聚焦,做出更好的决策,更有效地进行优先级排定:
- 问对问题=好的回答
不管这个问题是你进行自我对话还是会议讨论,问对问题都是非常重要的。如果把问问题和回答问题作为一个流程来看,那么你想获得好的回答则一定需要提出好的问题。就像我们经常逛技术论坛一样,你发帖求助的回答率与你提出的问题以及提问方式有关。 - 问题=关注点
通过改变你的问题可以改变我们的关注点,这可以让我们快速的切换视角。例如,加入你要做一个项目,你可能会问“我有什么资源来做这个项目”,如果你感觉资源不够时你就会消极;但是如果你换一种问题“如果没有资源、时间限制我会如何做这个项目?”那么你会想办法去解决资源问题。 - 问题=内心交流
通过问题进行自我沟通,可以让自己获得内心的更多力量。例如,我们在做一件事情之前,问问自己“为什么”要做,找出激励自己的情感式动力,这会让自己实现结果更有效,这也是“为什么”三个字带来的力量。 - 问题=机会
我们在做产品架构时会有一个市场需求文档模板,这里首先就是列出市场问题,后面就会跟着市场机会,通过问题提出解决方案可能就会创造出很多机会。
关于问题的谚语
- “A child can ask questions that a wise man cannot answer.”—Unknown
- “A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.” – Francis Bacon
- “An answer is always a form of death.”—John Fowles
- “It is not every question that deserves an answer.” — Publilius Syrus
- “No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.” — Karl Otto von Schonhausen Bismarck
- “Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.” — Anthony Robbins
- “Questions are never indiscreet. Answers sometimes are.” – Publilius Syrus
- “The man who questions opinion is wise; the man who quarrels with fact is a fool.”–Frank A Garbutt
- “The only questions that really matter are the ones you ask yourself.” –Ursula K. LeGuin
- “The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions.” —Antony Jay
- “We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.”—Lloyd Alexander
- “When we have arrived at the question, the answer is already near.”–Ralph Waldo Emerson
- “You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions”.—Naguib Mahfouz
改善结果的一些问题
我曾经也说过,一个人自我成长最简单的就是问自己一些问题,在个人管理:从昨天的一个设计评审来谈如何与人交流你的设计思路、个人管理:写书之前应该回答的几个问题、30天敏捷结果(19):你在为谁做事?、30天敏捷生活(6): 你的生活目标是什么?中都提出了很多问题。下面罗列一些问题的分类和示例,我相信对你应该会有所帮助:
分类 | 问题 |
---|---|
通用问题 |
|
行动 |
|
效率和效能 |
|
目的和目标 |
|
学习 |
|
激励 |
|
时间管理 |
|
价值 |
|
用上面的表格作为找出好问题的开始,但是找出好问题的要点是这些问题必须对你起作用,你需要持续的给你的问题库中补充对你有用的问题(如果你不知道对生活的问题,可以参考本篇后面附上的生活自问列表)。你会发现,有些简单的问题可以让你远离沮丧去找出方案,具有创造力,并且能够找出下一步要做的事情。
本次练习要做的
- 找出一个可以帮助你获得更好结果的一个自问的问题
- 找出一个对你不起作用的问题,换一个更有效的问题来改善自己的结果
