The role of questions in Board decision making is often ignored or misunderstood. Questions are too often used as weapons to make a point, or to make a statement, or to manipulate someone to agree with your point of view.
When Board members refuse to ask questions that invite curiosity, it sends a very clear message regarding the culture of their organisation. Innovation and possibility are discouraged, and blame and confusion run rampant.
The true role of any question is to invite curiosity, the exploration of “What if..” and “How else...” This sense of curiosity is the gift that every Board member can bring to their Board. Conscious Governance
