The Answer Is a Question: The Missing Superpower that Changes Everything and Will Transform Your Impact as a Manager and Leader
“The Answer is a Question redefines the purpose of management for the 21st century.”
— Matthew Syed, Author, Broadcaster and Columnist
As seen on BBC • Distinguished Favourite, NYC Big Book Award 2023
What if your team came to you with solutions instead of problems?
With ever-increasing workloads, demanding schedules and growing instability, managers are under more pressure than ever. Yet many of us are still managing in the same way - taking on more responsibility, solving more problems and providing more answers.
What if there was another way?
What if, instead of always giving your team the answer, you could help them find their own?
What if your everyday management conversations could become opportunities to coach and develop your people — helping them think more clearly, solve problems, take ownership and build their capability?
The Answer Is a Question is a practical management and coaching book for busy managers and leaders who want to develop their teams through the conversations they are already having at work.
Multi-award-winning performance consultants Dominic and Laura Ashley-Timms introduce the STAR® model and the new and proven approach to coaching in the flow of work - Operational Coaching®. Through practical examples, case studies and mini-missions, they show you how to use questions differently - not simply to find out more, but to help people think, learn and take responsibility for finding their own solutions.
“The book is fabulous... I have now bought 30 of these books and use them as a basis for discussion on how to deliver everyday coaching, every day!”
— Dean Lenton, Learning and Development Director
This book will help you to:
- Coach rather than tell - resist the instinct to step in to fix other people’s problems or immediately provide the answer, and instead, help people develop their own thinking
- Turn everyday conversations into coaching conversations - use problems, decisions, challenges and opportunities as moments to develop your team and those around you - including friends and family!
- Build greater ownership and accountability - help your team take responsibility for finding solutions rather than automatically relying on you
- Develop a high-performing, independent team - build confidence, strengthen problem-solving ability and grow each team member’s capability
- Reduce your management burden - stop being the bottleneck who has to solve every problem and win back valuable time and capacity for yourself
- Make coaching part of everyday management - without needing to become a professional coach or scheduling formal coaching sessions every time someone needs help
“I found the STAR® model really useful. I was never comfortable in managing people, but changing my mindset to see it as a coaching opportunity really opened my eyes and helped me and the business develop.”
— Jack Cooledge, Bespoke Drywall Ltd
The STAR® model is used by leaders and managers in FTSE and Fortune 500 companies and has been proven to work by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in a major academic study across 62 organisations.
And the approach is already making a difference for managers and leaders:
“STAR® has had a major impact on how I operate as a professional... giving me the knowledge and skills to develop on a personal level and to develop my team.”
— Carl Drinkel, Senior Quality Engineer, Hitachi Rail
“For any leader or manager in business, you need this! It has truly changed the way I think about leadership, for the better!”
— Nick Pointe
The Answer is a Question gives you a practical approach to bringing coaching into the conversations you are already having - helping your team think for themselves, solve problems, take ownership and grow in capability, and you’ll become a manager who develops people rather than simply solves problems for them,
If you want to improve your skills as a manager, massively amplify your value and impact through a better-enabled, more capable, high-performing team that steps up, this book will show you how.
The Answer Is a Question doesn’t just tell you the what, i.e. telling you ‘about management’; it shows you the practical ‘how’ that makes the greatest difference in the shortest time and will transform your impact as a manager and leader forever.

Right of withdrawal
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
