We are often told that getting to “yes” when asking a question is a powerful negotiation technique. That much is true but asking questions that lead to “no” can really tease out conversations and help to understand why a certain position is held by someone.

Accountability. It's a word that can strike fear into the hearts of many. But it's not about blame or shame. It's about owning your commitments, delivering on your promises, and creating a culture of trust and transparency.
