Publisher's Summary
The key to effective communication. Communication is essential in a healthy organization. But all too often when we interact with people - especially those who report to us - we simply tell them what we think they need to know. This shuts them down. To generate bold new ideas, to avoid disastrous mistakes, to develop agility and flexibility, we need to practice Humble Inquiry. Ed Schein defines Humble Inquiry as "the fine art of drawing someone out, of asking questions to which you do not know the answer, of building a relationship based on curiosity and interest in the other person." In this seminal work, Schein contrasts Humble Inquiry with other kinds of inquiry, shows the benefits Humble Inquiry provides in many different settings, and offers advice on overcoming the cultural, organizational, and psychological barriers that keep us from practicing it.

Useful read for leadership role!!!
A good read. Put things in perspective about pros (mostly) and cons of inquiring in a humble way to accomplish the task and achieve the goal in a fruitful way.
Felt like, its little stretched in the middle chapters.
Theory is good, practising the same would present a completely different challenge. Nevertheless, humble inquiry is an important and impactful trait a leader should have or should develop consciously. In that sense the book is worth the listening time.
