ASTD Golden Gate Monthly Meeting When: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 Where: Hotel 480 (formerly Crowne Plaza), San Francisco Where: 480 Sutter Street at Powell LEADERSHIP THROUGH PRECISION QUESTIONING What do these executives have in common?
Though their individual styles may be unique, the substance of their questioning - the nature of the questions they choose, their tendency to drill down, and their uncanny ability to get to the heart of the matter - makes them Precision Questioners. Influential executives use Precision Questioning (PQ) to drive innovation and stimulate new ideas. In this workshop, you'll learn how leaders at some of the world's most successful - and most powerful - organizations use questioning to keep their teams focused on the right things and the best solutions. You'll also learn the basic PQ model and experience firsthand how to improve your own leadership performance, whether you're an executive, manager, project manager, or solo contributor. Don't miss this excellent professional development opportunity to strengthen the left side of your brain! Presented by: Dennis Matthies
