The 7 QUESTIONS The question is the answer to employee engagement by David Zinger
Questions engage. They hook our brains and stimulate
curiosity. Questions trigger powerful actions. The
answer to our problems resides in the questions
we ask ourselves as we transform ignorance or
certainty into curiosity.
Learn to ask yourself intriguing questions. This e-book
offers you 7 engaging questions. One for each day of
the week. Open your mind. Seize the question.
Change your day.
A beautiful question is an ambitious yet actionable question that can begin to shift the way
we perceive or think about something – and that might serve as a catalyst to bring about
change. Warren Berger, A More Beautiful Question?

The Sunday Question
Am I looking
forward to
going to work
on Monday?
?
Ramiro Garces, the former VP of HR for Latin America Kimberley-Clark taught me the
Sunday Question. Ask yourself this question at some point each Sunday. If the answer is yes
proceed into work as per normal. If the answer is no transform your negative response into
a conversation at work to see what can be done.

The Monday Question
When your mind is open even the Spice Girls can be your teachers. This question has its
origin in their song, Wannabe. We must attach our engagement to meaningful results. The
“really really” part of this question ensures you dig a little deeper to find results that matter.
? What do I want,
really really want,
from work this week?

The Tuesday Question
How does
what I do,
benefit you?
Work is done in the service of others. We need to focus on others. Don’t get lost in doing only
what matters to yourself. See the wider social picture. The “you” in this question could be
your boss, your reports, your peers, your customers, or even your family. Answer this
question before you begin each new task next Tuesday.

The Wednesday Question
What gives me energy,
what takes it away,
and what for me
is a waste of time?
I learned about this question from Donald Graves, an American educator who studied
energy and teaching. Like all the questions in this book, don’t just ask the question, answer
the question. Do something about your energy based on your response. Don’t be mindlessly
sucked down an energy drain at work. If something is a waste of time eliminate it or find out
why it matters to someone else.

The Thursday Question
? What can I do today
that will cause someone
to say to me, you
made my day?
Go ahead, make someone’s day. We work with others. Don’t let the day go by without being
a people maker. You can make all sorts of things but never overlook making the day for
someone else at work. Know that a kind word, an insightful appreciation, or pitching in and
assisting with another person’s task can be more than helpful, they can make someone’s day.

The Friday Question
? What stood out
for me at work
this week?
Don’t let the week end without being reflective about what stood out for you. Did you
experience a setback or progress? What did you do about it? We need to capture and install
progress. We need to master setbacks through learning and being able to let them go. Never
let a week go by without giving some thought, energy, and time to your experiences around
setbacks and progress.

The Saturday Question
? What can I do today to
recover from the previous
week and re-energize
for the week ahead?
Replenish yourself. Renew, rekindle, and reenergize. Go for a run or take a walk. Kiss
your spouse. Hug your children. Eat chocolate cake. Be mindful of the moment. Nap.
Enjoy watching a movie or sports. Inspire yourself with mindful breathing. Do whatever
helps you be refilled with energy and lets you be your best.

The 7 QUESTIONS The question is the answer to employee engagement by David Zinger
Engage with Questions
Transform weak engagement into a powerful week of engagement
based on questions. Ask yourself one question each day. Ask these
questions of others at work. Run a one week experiment. Rewrite a
question to make it better for yourself. Ask the question each hour of
the day. Give this book to someone else and have them ask you the
questions. Be mutually accountable. Post the question on your
Intranet or put one up on Twitter or even your bathroom
mirror. Let the questions be your guide. Ask the questions --
be the answer!
…try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a
very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the
questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even
noticing it, live your way into the answer. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903 in Letters to a
Young Poet.

Ramiro Garces, the former VP of HR for Latin America Kimberley-Clark taught me the Sunday Question. Ask yourself this question at some point each Sunday.

  • 5. The Employee Engagement Network 5 The 7 QUESTIONS The question is the answer to employee engagement by David Zinger The Monday Question When your mind is open even the Spice Girls can be your teachers. This question has its origin in their song, Wannabe. We must attach our engagement to meaningful results.

  • 6. The Employee Engagement Network 6 The 7 QUESTIONS The question is the answer to employee engagement by David Zinger The Tuesday Question How does what I do, benefit you? Work is done in the service of others. We need to focus on others. Don’t get lost in doing only what matters to yourself. See the wider social picture. The “you” in this question could be your boss, your reports, your peers, your customers, or even your family. Answer this question before you begin each new task next Tuesday. ?
  • 7. The Employee Engagement Network 7 The 7 QUESTIONS The question is the answer to employee engagement by David Zinger The Wednesday Question What gives me energy, what takes it away, and what for me is a waste of time? I learned about this question from Donald Graves, an American educator who studied energy and teaching. Like all the questions in this book, don’t just ask the question, answer the question. Do something about your energy based on your response. Don’t be mindlessly sucked down an energy drain at work. If something is a waste of time eliminate it or find out why it matters to someone else. ?
  • 8. The Employee Engagement Network 8 The 7 QUESTIONS The question is the answer to employee engagement by David Zinger The Thursday Question ? What can I do today that will cause someone to say to me, you made my day? Go ahead, make someone’s day. We work with others. Don’t let the day go by without being a people maker. You can make all sorts of things but never overlook making the day for someone else at work. Know that a kind word, an insightful appreciation, or pitching in and assisting with another person’s task can be more than helpful, they can make someone’s day.
  • 9. The Employee Engagement Network 9 The 7 QUESTIONS The question is the answer to employee engagement by David Zinger The Friday Question ? What stood out for me at work this week? Don’t let the week end without being reflective about what stood out for you. Did you experience a setback or progress? What did you do about it? We need to capture and install progress. We need to master setbacks through learning and being able to let them go. Never let a week go by without giving some thought, energy, and time to your experiences around setbacks and progress.
  • 10. The Employee Engagement Network 10 The 7 QUESTIONS The question is the answer to employee engagement by David Zinger The Saturday Question ? What can I do today to recover from the previous week and re-energize for the week ahead? Replenish yourself. Renew, rekindle, and reenergize. Go for a run or take a walk. Kiss your spouse. Hug your children. Eat chocolate cake. Be mindful of the moment. Nap. Enjoy watching a movie or sports. Inspire yourself with mindful breathing. Do whatever helps you be refilled with energy and lets you be your best.
  • 11. The Employee Engagement Network 11 The 7 QUESTIONS The question is the answer to employee engagement by David Zinger Engage with Questions Transform weak engagement into a powerful week of engagement based on questions. Ask yourself one question each day. Ask these questions of others at work. Run a one week experiment. Rewrite a question to make it better for yourself. Ask the question each hour of the day. Give this book to someone else and have them ask you the questions. Be mutually accountable. Post the question on your Intranet or put one up on Twitter or even your bathroom mirror. Let the questions be your guide. Ask the questions -- be the answer! …try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903 in Letters to a Young Poet.
