In your organization, how might asking the question, “What can we do to do a better job of X?” be beneficial customer stakeholders and teams? 2. In your life, how might asking, “How can I be a better boss, colleague, employee, friend, spouse, partner, son, or daughter?” make life better at work or at home? LISTEN: 1. How might genuinely listening to feedback be helpful to your team or in your organization? 2. Think of a time when you made excuses for being late or making a mistake.
