About 20 years ago I was leading a brainstorming ssion in one of my MBA class, and it was like wading through oatmeal. We were talking about something that many organizations struggle with; how to build a culture of equality in a male-dominated environment. Though it was an issue the students cared about, they clearly felt uninspired by the ideas they were generating. After a lot of discussion, the energy level in the room was approaching nil. Glancing at the clock, I resolved to at least give us a starting point for the next ssion.
"Everyone," I improvid, "let's forget about finding answers for today and **e up with some new questions we could be asking about this problem. Let's e how many we can write down in the time we have left. " The students dutifully started to throw out questions, and I scribbled them on a chalkboard, redirecting anybody who started to suggest an answer. To my surpri, the room was quickly energized. At the end of the ssion, people left talking excitedly about a few of the questions that had emerged—tho that ch
allenged basic assumptions we had been making. For instance; Were there grassroots efforts we could support, rather than handing down rules from the top? And; What could we learn from pockets within our own organization that had achieved equality, instead of automatically looking elwhere for best practices? Suddenly, there was much more to discuss, becau we had opened up unexpected pathways to potential solutions.
Brainstorming for questions, not answers, wasn't something I'd tried before. It just occurred to me in that moment, probably becau I had recently been reading sociologist Parker Palmer's early work about creative discovery through open, honest inquiry. But this technique worked so well with the students that I began experimenting with it in consulting engagements, and eventually it evolved into a methodology that I continue to refine. By now I've ud it with hundreds of clients, including global teams at Chanel, Danone, Disney, EY, Fidelity, Genentech, Salesforce, and dozens of **panies; nonprofit organizations; and individual leaders I've coached.
Underlying the approach is a broader recognition that fresh questions often beget nove
l—even transformative—insights. Consider this example from the field of psychology: Before 1998 virtually all well-trained psychologists focud on attacking the roots of mental disorders and deficits, on the assumption that well-being came down to the abnce of tho negative conditions. But then Martin Seligman became president of the American Psychological Association, and he reframed things for his colleagues. What if, he asked in a speech at the APA's annual meeting, well-being is just as driven by the prence of certain positive conditions—keys to flourishing that could be recognized, measured, and cultivated? With that question, the positive psychology movement was born.
