Product Information

The questions in this example become more restrictive, starting with open questions which allow for very broad answers, at each step the questions become more focused and the answers become more restrictive. Don’t assume you have to answer the question. You have 3 other options: divert, delay, or return. Divert For example, if the card says, "I'm fine, thank you." Students might ask the question, "How are you?'"

Why does my software fail all the time? The answer is in the question. May be it isn't "your" software (windows fan). May be it isn't software (Linux fan). Similarly, there can be legitimate reasons for delaying an answer. Don’t delay too often, but sometimes it’s necessary. The effectiveness of rhetorical questions in argument comes from their dramatic quality. They suggest dialogue, especially when the speaker both asks and answers them himself, as if he were playing two parts on the stage. They are not always impassioned; they may be mildly ironical or merely argumentative: but they are always to some extent dramatic, and, if used to excess, they tend to give one’s style a theatrical air." [8] This groundbreaking new book reveals how managers all over the world can ditch the command-and-control leadership model and adopt an enquiry-led approach that cultivates a new wave of engaged, problem-solving employees – and it starts with how we use questions in a more purposeful way. This book highlights the authors’ STAR Method. STAR stands for Situation Task Action and Result. The STAR method is used frequently in interviewing and my current place of employment held a training on it a few months ago. However, I never thought about how I could use STAR as a manager outside of interviewing.

Specialized natural-language question answering systems have been developed, such as EAGLi for health and life scientists. [6] Applications [ edit ] As of 2001 [update], question-answering systems typically included a question classifier module that determined the type of question and the type of answer. [7]

So the person who answers the question with the question means that he / she is convinced that he / she is superior or wiser than the other person.We can say that two individuals who constantly ask each other questions are competing for wisdom or superiority.This is used as a tactic in job interviews.The STAR® Model is a very powerful tool that allows you to rethink your usual way of approaching conversations with your team members and coworkers (and also with family and friends!). When we look from another perspective, answering the asked question with a question is actually an inquiry.The person who answers the question with a question questions the other person.
