To ask the 'right' question is far more important than to receive the answer. The solution of a problem lies in the understanding of the problem; the answer is not outside the problem, it is in the problem.

About This Quote

In business, as well as in life, it is far more important to ask the "right" questions than to answer them. The answer you receive from those around you is likely to be wrong, anyway. The problem with asking the right questions is that you have to look at the situation from a different perspective so that you can see a solution. Good questions can often open up a person's mind and provide a new perspective on a situation.
