Memo #2: Challenge ideas



Challenge other people's ideas, including the boss's. When doing so, pose your 'challenge statement' in question form, not as direct criticism. Example: "How will this (complete the statement)?" "What would happen if (complete the statement)?" Ask open-ended questions instead of questions answerable by yes or no. More important, be ready to offer your own ideas. Be tactful.
