even if there is no consensus say: "Look, I know we disagree on this but will you gamble with me on it? He covered many different areas and he grouped the questions under those areas, and this is how the chapters are organized. Being an effective leader is not so much about having all the answers as asking the right questions. Whether you are engaged in business, raising a family, falling in love or trying to be have more fun at cocktail parties, fortifying yourself with a massive repository of great questions to ask, and genuine curiosity about what you hear will add to your success.

I do not disagree with this point, although the book at times felt a bit long, reiterating the same point without adding anything new. We had hired a guide, Simon, to assist with our travel around the country and answer our questions about such a fascinating time and place.

Sì, perché voi, che nemmeno sapete chi siete, chi è vostro padre, vostra madre, vostro figlio, il vostro capo ufficio, il vostro direttore, il vostro vicino inquilino, il vostro portiere, il vostro parroco, il giornalaio all’angolo, la vostra amante, cosa potete sapere di me?

You can make the “challenge” question more specific (“on this project”) or more general (“in your job”).
