This book provides everything a team needs to discover “the keys to past successes and future possibilities”.  By igniting engaging  conversation one can enhance their team’s performance. Through the 48 positive questions and sample interview guides provided in the book, teams can develop into high-productivity units by establishing a common ground, through these positive questions, about various topics such as: clear and shared goals, roles, and responsiblities; creating empowering and supporting relationships; nurturing leadership; evolving energy, productivity, and performance; creating purposeful and up-lifting open communication that eventually leads to clear and shared procedures.  Through the power of these positive, productive questions, teams can go from a work environment.
