Just finished reading: Humble Inquiry: The Gentle Art of Asking Instead of Telling (2025; originally 2013) by Edgar & Peter Schein. Like so many business books, it would’ve made a much better pamphlet—a virtuous pamphlet, to be clear—than it does a book. But then, you can’t sell a pamphlet for $24.95. Still, spending a few hours hearing the phrase “humble inquiry” repeated hundreds of times can’t have been bad for me, master of the overconfident statement.
