Review: Leading with Questions, Michael Marquardt. Josey-Bass. CA 2005.

For over 10 years, I have been teaching the use of questions as a coaching, management, and leadership tool (in MBA programs, internal-organizational coaches in training courses, and coaches in training). This book is the best resource I have found for the use of questioning as a leadership, management, and coaching tool. It gives theory, background and excellent examples in a variety of areas including: managing people; managing change; building strategy; and building teams.

The writing style is smooth and easy to read (the print is also easy on the eyes). Michael Marquardt has done a great service for leadership and management development as well as the coaching field. I highly recommend it for leaders, managers, coaches, AND PARENTS. It posits a credible and effective communication style.
