We explore the power of a beautiful question. \\xa0 When people ask Warren what he does, how does he like to reply Warren was a journalist for the NY Times and Wired Magazine. In a room of 20 journalists,\\xa0what\\xa0makes a great journalist? What\\u2019s the process of great\\xa0journalistic enquiry? What makes a more beautiful question?\\xa0 Do we sometimes not stay with\\xa0questions long enough? Do we jump to the\\xa0solution\\xa0too quickly? Are we in a\\xa0society of doing, rather than\\xa0thinking and questioning? Is there a\\xa0relationship between improving our\\xa0listening skills and asking more questions? Netflix was born out of a question; what was the question? Does a leader who asks questions display weakness? Do\\xa0people assume that as a leader, you know all the answers? Do we need to put aside ego to ask beautiful\\xa0questions? To ask a beautiful\\xa0question, do we need to put aside assumptions? Is it incumbent upon a leader to create a\\xa0safe house for\\xa0people to ask questions? Should asking questions become a habit of\\xa0the mind?\\xa0 Why asking a question of yourself says to your brain, "hey, think\\xa0about\\xa0this." "How might I?" vs "How can I?" At what point in our growing up did the\\xa0curiosity and desire to ask\\xa0questions diminish? What has the\\xa0impact of search engines had on inquiry?
