Ask Better Questions!

For those of us who have taken a journalism class, we’ve probably all had one lesson hammered into our very being. Do not, under any circumstance, ask a yes or no question.

This week, Inc. offers a kinder approach to beating yourself up about that list with five important questions that will leave you feeling accomplished, instead of like a failure.
