How to ask the right questions

To ask the right question:

• Define Your Objective: Know what you want to achieve or understand. This helps in framing the question appropriately.
• Be Specific: Focus on one topic or issue at a time. Avoid vague or broad questions.
• Provide Context: Offer relevant background information to help the respondent understand the situation.
• Use Clear Language: Avoid jargon or complex language unless it's necessary for the context.
• Ask Open-Ended Questions: Encourage detailed responses by asking questions that cannot be answered with a simple "yes" or "no."
• Follow Up: Be prepared to ask additional questions based on the responses to dive deeper into the topic.
• Be Respectful and Patient: Show appreciation for the respondent’s time and insights.
