"Questions help us break down barriers, discover secrets, solve puzzles, and imagine new ways of doing things, But few of us know how to question in a methodical way," explains Frank Sesno, Emmy-award-winning journalist, and author of the forthcoming book, Ask More.
Set to publish in January 2017, Sesno's book teaches readers how the power of questions:
- Opens doors
- Uncovers Solutions
- Sparks Change
More specifically, he reveals:
- The power and payoff of targeted diagnostic questions.
- How strategic questions can ease the hardest decisions and support triumphant outcomes.
- How and when to use empathy questions.
- How asking creativity questions help to get people to imagine, set their sights high and soar above failure.
And, "when a leader fails to know where he/she is going, refuses to listen to what he/she doesn't want to hear, or relies on faulty information, bad things happen," adds Sesno.

Sesno also shares that some questions work best when they don't end in a question mark. Examples are:
- Tell me more
- Explain that to me
- Go on
Sesno is a former CNN anchor, White House correspondent, and Washington bureau chief, and is now the director of School of Media and Public Affairs at the George Washington University.
