Qvestions

Living in an AI-obsessed world, we are so busy learning how to prompt machines for good answers that we risk forgetting the value of our own questions. 'Qvestion' is my attempt to introduce a tweaked term for the questions that cannot be answered by a bot, e.g. the Existential, Ethical, and Epistemological questions we ask ourselves and each other about what it means to be human.

Did COVID-19 make us more human?

The beauty of uncertainty — like doubt, wonder and curiosity — is that the minute we accept them as indisputable aspects of life, we instinctively turn toward each other. Uncertainty makes us reflect on what’s important — to ourselves, each other and the world we share. It fosters questions like: Who do

SoMe questions

Why do you think social media like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook use a question to nudge you to share a post? And have you ever thought about the impact it has on your content - and the way people engage with your content? This is what I'm thinking:

Snydespørgsmål

Kender du det, at nogen stiller dig et spørgsmål, som du fornemmer handler om noget andet end det, de spørger om? Jeg oplever det især, når det første folk spørger om efter jeg har fortalt dem om Qvest er: "Ligger der noget forskning bag?" "Ja, gu fanden

Hvem ser mest provokerende ud?

Mig: “Jeg skal i radioen på tirsdag” Min far: “Okay - om hvad?” Mig: “Har du hørt om Men in Black?” Min far: “Ja! De er da ...” Mig: “Jeg skal i radioen sammen med én af talsmændene” Min far: “Okay! Ja, dét skal nok blive spændende! Hvornår og hvor?” Mig:

Why do we keep saying that good leadership is about asking good questions?

When I read the newly published HBR article "Good Leadership Is About Asking Good Questions", I was finalizing my next column in the Danish business newspaper Finans. My title was - and still is - "No, good leaders don't ask good questions". My main

I have always been fascinated by the “Dear Annie” Mailbox-concept where anyone can ask an expert for advice. But until a week ago I had never thought about how it feels to be the expert receiving questions from strangers in different parts of the world. When I received this message,

Spørgsmål fra fremtiden

Efter pressemødet i går spurgte min 15-årige søn, hvor meget jeg tror, det kommer til at påvirke hans gymnasietid, at han ikke får sin 9. klasses afgangseksamen. Han spurgte i klasse-chatten, om hans kammerater havde nogle reaktioner, og han spurgte Gustav, som han har kendt siden de var 2 måneder
