Questions people ask
What are good would you rather questions for work?
Good ones are safe for everyone, quick to answer and hard to choose: a four-day week or work from anywhere, no more meetings or no more email. Skip anything about politics, religion, money troubles, health or appearance.
How do you use would you rather questions as an icebreaker?
Ask one at the start of a meeting and let everyone pick a side. On HTruths each person also guesses what share of the team picked the same answer, so you find out who reads the room best.
