Asking when you don't understand will benefit you. Pretending to understand can lead to poor
decision making.
If you don't understand the instructions, ask questions. If you find something is too complex for you
to understand, don’t be embarrassed to admit and demand someone explain it. Many leaders assume that complexity is
part of life and accept it all too easily.
There’s a possibility that if you can’t quite understand a business
unit’s strategy, there are chances that the people who have to carry it out may
don’t understand either.
If you can't explain it simply,
you don't understand it well enough.
(Albert Einstein)
There are at least three possible reasons why people don't ask
questions:
- understands everything that questions aren't necessary
- so utterly lost and don't where to start asking questions
- don't want to be embarrass with your questions
Some advantages of asking questions:
- learn something and look at things in a different light
- might benefit others
Whatever it is, be careful not to say or ask the wrong thing to
your boss because it can really damage your career:
- "I can't work with Joe." Refusing to work with a colleague may mark you as difficult instead.
Some people see things that are and ask, Why?
Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not?
Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that.
(George Carlin)
Successful people ask better questions,
and as a result, they get better answers.
(Tony Robbins)
