Hello all! I have several short articles to share and two are about the question, 'Why' ka.
The first is from a speed review by summary.com entitled, 'A More Beautiful Question' by Warren Berger and I quote the key sentences below na ka:
"While Why questions are pure inquiry, What If questions, Berger writes, are questions that lead to possible solutions.
......when you’ve asked all the Whys, considered the What Ifs…and must now figure out, How do I actually get this done?”
The second is, 'Science of Selling' by David Hoffeld ka. At the first glance, I planned to skip it but after I read it, it was good to get a science-based methodology that may be used in other situations as well ka.
Hoffeld conducted his own research over six years that combined a thorough review of the academic evidence with extensive study of sales calls based on six “why” questions: Why change? Why now? Why your industry solution? (The lesson here: Competitors may not come from your industry.) Why you and your company? Why your product and service? Why spend the money?
We may not consider ourselves in the business of selling but we actually are na ka, agree? We sell education services to our students, parents, and stakeholders so it may be helpful to keep asking why's to convince our 'potential clients' to think more about their own preferences in terms of discipline, institution, their planned future, and even value for money enrolling in our university.
It's also great to ask our own selves these questions when investing in new technologies/services.
The last one is, 'Long View' by Brian FetherstonhaughIf. The book is about skills needed for a successful career.
The author points out that 'there are three types of fuel essential to a successful career:
1. Transportable Skills, i.e. the basic skills that will make people successful in every job they have. These include such skills as problem-solving, effective communication, getting things done, knowing how to give and ask for help, and emotional intelligence.
2. Meaningful Experiences especially during the first 15 years of a career in which a series of diverse experiences should be accumulated.
3. Enduring Relationships with key people which are perhaps the most potent and long-lasting fuel.
Have to come back to our university community to ask whether we've been helping our students sharpen the skills needed, offering them platforms to gain diverse and meaningful experiences while guiding them to be able to endure relationships from their college days to their professional paths. Before then, we need to assess ourselves whether we have those qualities and know how to share kaaa!
Lots to read, think, and learn ka.
