Asking open questions
When possible, use the five W’s or the H to ask a question.
- Who?
- What?
- Where?
- When?
- Why?
- How?
These questions encourage discussion, self-evaluation, and open conversation. Some useful questions for conflict resolution include:
- What happened?
- Why do you feel that way?
- When did this problem start?
- How does that make you feel?
- Who else is involved?
