Synopsis

The New Approach to Management Being Used in Over Forty CountriesAs seen on BBC and Distinguished Favourite in the NYC Big Book Award 2023.“Redefines the purpose of management for the 21st century.” - Matthew Syed, Author, Journalist & Broadcaster“For any leader or manager, you need this! It has truly changed the way I think about leadership, for the better!” - Nick Pointe“I have transformed the way I communicate. One of the best investments in career learning that I’ve made." - Fadinding DarboeIf you’re like many managers and leaders today, you’re struggling to stay on top. With ever-increasing workloads, demanding schedules and growing instability, it’s little wonder that our stress levels are rising whilst employee engagement everywhere is miserably low. The world has changed and impacted how we work, yet our management models have not kept pace; we’re still trying to manage as we always have - simply taking on more and more.But what if instead of bringing you problems every day, those you work with started generating the solutions themselves? What if your team could step up and take work off you so that you got 20% of your time back? What if making one small change could transform not only your team’s engagement levels but also your career.In The Answer Is a Question, multi-award-winning performance consultants Dominic and Laura Ashley-Timms set out a simple approach for rehumanising the practice of management. In a step-by-step walk-through of their groundbreaking STAR® model (used by FTSE and Fortune 500 companies), they’ll show how you can develop a new superpower that’s been proven to work by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in a major academic study across sixty-two organisations. Packed with invaluable insights, examples, and mini-missions, this book will show you precisely how to make some immediate changes that will yield fast and exciting results and revolutionise how you manage forever.

Goodreads review by George on July 05, 2023

As a new manager, I was recommended this book by my director and on first impressions - I’m really impressed with the print quality. Non-fiction books rarely receive the design efforts of fiction– so it was a welcomed surprise that it feels and looks as good as it reads. Content-wise, it’s a high-qua......more

Goodreads review by Sara on November 03, 2022

The STAR® Model is a very powerful tool that allows you to rethink your usual way of approaching conversations with your team members and coworkers (and also with family and friends!). It challenges you to really listen to what the other person is telling you, or trying to tell you, so that you can c......more

Goodreads review by Ligia on July 29, 2023

This is definitely a book that requires time to read and challenge yourself with some personal reflections and auto-criticism. None the less it promotes this new method called STAR (stop, think, ask and result) which is interesting and for sure helpful. It will for sure require practice and commitme......more
