How many times a day do you find yourself asking people “how
are you”? In most social settings, it's considered to be a polite greeting, but when it comes to your coworkers is there a better way to start a conversation? According
to Forbes, in many work circumstances questions with more substance are
vital when it comes to establishing strong working relationships.
When simply asking someone how their day is going, you are not going to learn
anything new about them, nor are you portraying any real interest. Next time
you walk into a meeting or are assigned to a team project, considering using
one of the following openings to really get the conversational ball rolling.
#1. What was the best part
about your day?
#2: What work is most exciting you this week?
#3: What new ideas are giving you energy lately?
#4: Tell me one thing you’ve learned recently that inspired you.
#5: What is one thing we could do right now to make this (day, project,
event) even better?
