Question-Answer Matrix
The most intelligent people don't have the best answers – they ask the best questions and act on them. Asking great questions is how you uncover the truth, while bias for action is how you build.
The Question-Action Matrix is a 2x2 of quality of questions and bias for action –
You can effectively place people in one of the four quadrants –
Q1: World-Changers
Q2: Grinders/Hustlers
Q3: Philosophers/Thinkers
Q4: Dead Zone
How to move forward from here? Simple –
Invest heavily behind the Q1s
Hire more of the Q2s
Spend time with the Q3s
Avoid, as much as possible, Q4s.
The idea behind the Question-Answer Matrix comes from Sahil Bloom.
