This month's discussion
Higher performance, happier people and better relationships. Are the questions you’re asking helping achieve these goals or hindering them?
We ask questions of our people throughout every working day. In this interactive session, our speaker Ben Simpson will invite you to think about the impact of the types of questions you ask. If you'd like your team to take more responsibility, collaborate and focus on improvement, maybe it starts by joining this conversation.
Our speaker - Ben Simpson

A fierce critic of traditional (command and control) management, he guides those that he works with towards more human-centric ways of leading, organising and managing.
