Humble Inquiry (2nd edition)
Book Discussion – w/ authors Ed & Peter Schein!
This is an exciting opportunity to have in-depth discussions of the newly released “Humble Inquiry (2nd ed)” with like-minded professionals AND with the authors — the legendary Ed Schein and his son Peter!
Humble Inquiry, in a nutshell, is the basis for building trusting relationships to facilitate better communication and collaboration. It’s a way of empowering others by building trust and focusing on the contrast between asking (from a position of humility) versus telling (from a position of authority).
Humble Inquiry is useful for anyone — students, trainers, coaches, change consultants, or any other HR or OD professional. Learning Objectives for these events include:
- Engage in critical discussions of a shared text
- Discuss practical opportunities to apply the book’s concepts
- Build relationships with other OD professionals
- MEET THE AUTHORS!
It’s OK if you do not read the entire book (or any of it). Read what you can and join us for these stimulating conversations!
