Comments and constructive criticism
Response to Article 1
In this article, the student has rightly described how asking effective or good questions could actually bring about innovation. Citing McKinney (2012), the student is spot on by stating that effective questions, in fact, challenge people’s knowledge and suppositions, which could, in turn, stifle innovation. In essence, questioning resulted in instant cameras and windshield wipers, in addition to many other innovations. Furthermore, the student is right by stating that people who seek perfection do so since they are prepared to question their beliefs and views. To add on what the student has stated in the post, effective questions are those questions which cause people to really think before answering it, and which reveal answers which had eluded them in the past (Luntz, 2011). The student has rightly stated that Harley-Davidson is one example of an organization that began when effective questions were asked. Companies like Pixar, Pandora, Netflix, and Dropbox also began with a founding question (Kastelle, 2013). It is notable that there are different ways that can be used to generate input for an organization, and as McKinney (2012) pointed out, the most effective way is by learning to ask the types of questions which could lead the individual to a real innovation or discovery. Lastly, the student has clearly explained how strategic leadership and questioning practices could actually be applied to developing the right mix of projects.

Response to Article 2
In this article, the student is spot on by noting that being innovative requires one to be different and that two killer questions that lead to innovation are investigative questions and factual questions. This is something which McKinney (2012) has clearly articulated in his book. The student is also right by saying that by means of investigative questioning, a company can engage employees who demonstrate resistance to change. The internet, the Olympics and the International Red Cross all started with a question. So did the mobile phone (Kastelle, 2013). To add on what the student has stated, killer questions are particularly important in leading to innovation. One killer question is as follows: what do the company’s potential clients dislike about the purchasing experience? (McKinney, 2012). Many businesspeople have really never asked that question of their business or themselves. Investigating what the potential clients do not like about purchasing a product/service could be crucial particularly when the company’s rivals are not making that investigation. The student is also right by stating that the lack of leadership competency can impede a project’s success (Schafer, 2009). The student has partially explained how strategic leadership and questioning practices could actually be applied to developing the right mix of projects.
