How do you approach the hard questions????

[thrall]

There is an old saying that there is no such thing as hard question just hard answers. I often wonder though if it isn't the reverse that is more often true. Once a question is formulated to actually ask the question correctly the answers is often easy.

Spend you time thinking through the question then listen to be sure it is your question that is answered. If it isn't then re-ask the question with changes based on how it was answered incorrectly

Boy did you ever say a mouthful with that!!.. Yes, it is the hard answers that can be difficult.

With me, all questions are fair game. And i expect the same in return. So i'm alright with answers whatever they may be.

However in my experience there are many who operate on a "need to know" basis or a "Don't ask, don't tell" mode. How do you ask these people hard questions when anything you say may hit the target?

Sometimes even the most innocuous questions can lead to most horrific blow ups!!

I have found that when questions are asked that make someone uncomfortable, hit to close to home, or are all to truthful.........they are the hardest questions to ask......
