小到日常管理大到產品開發、布局事業版圖，沒有人知道所有問題的答案，也無法蒐集全資訊後才做決定，但成功的領導者懂得從「問對問題」中找解答！全球最完整的提問領導學經典，暢銷二十年，全新增訂版上市！如果你想了解業績為什麼無法達成、跨部門溝通總是遇到障礙、新計畫進度老是拖延、客戶或顧客抱怨連連、未來三到五年的策略是什麼、下一個商機在哪裡……那麼，你一定要先學會「問對問題」，並且鼓勵提問。如同Google前執行長艾瑞克．施密特接受《時代》雜誌訪問時所言：「我們用提問的方式來經營公司，而不是給予答案。」●管理大師及成功企業家們一致認為「提問」是最重要且最有力量的管理工具！管理大師 彼得．杜拉克指出：「過去的領導者可能是一個知道如何解答問題的人，但未來的領導者必將是一個知道如何提問的人。」奇異公司前總裁 傑克．威爾許認為：「真正問最多問題和最好問題的那些人，才是領導者。」戴爾電腦創辦人 麥克．戴爾相信：「問很多問題，可以讓你得到更多點子，而這些點子對競爭激烈的這一行格外重要。」福特汽車前執行長 唐諾．彼得森領悟：「多問一些對的問題，可以減少去找所有答案的需要。」《從A到A+》作者詹姆．柯林斯直陳：「從A到A+的領導方式，並非直接提供答案，而是不恥下問，這樣才能導引你做出最好的判斷。」●有好問題才有好領導，提問是找出突破性解決方案的核心！「我每天都試著做同一件事：提問。如果不提問，我可能會理解綜合情勢及問題，但是卻錯失了關鍵所在。」――查德．哈樂戴（Chad Holliday），杜邦（DuPont）公司董事長兼執行長豐田汽車教育員工每天要連續想五次「為什麼？」。這是運用因果關係的思考方式。如果員工思考為什麼，而且找到原因，他們會再度問自己為什麼，然後連續問五次。問完五次為什麼之後，他們就能仔細地分析原因。這種「問五次為什麼」的方法，對解決問題非常有效。美國創新領導中心（Center for Creative Leadership）曾針對近兩百位傑出企業家做研究，發現他們成功的關鍵，在於善於製造發問機會並懂得提問。這些聰明的領導者覺察到，單向地陳述論點會限縮工作者解決問題的能力，而提問的力量十分驚人，可以讓人思緒清晰，激發創意，指引出做事的新境界、新方向。於是他們用問問題的方式，幫助團隊從不同的視角看到問題的全貌，彼此傾聽，激盪出各種創意解答。更重要的是，透過對話與省思，凝聚共識、形

★《沒有名字的老人》《遺失的靈魂》《大小兄弟》波蘭插畫家尤安娜．康哲友最新絕美繪本！★充滿詩意和寓意的繪本，將讀者淹沒在如雲朵般的畫面中，令人流連忘返。「這個地方沒有湖泊，也沒有河川或溪流。水不流動，積在一汪汪深水坑裡，被困在爛泥巴裡，在泥濘中昏睡。這裡只有沼澤。」風格鮮明獨特、圖畫纖細深邃的波蘭插畫家尤安娜．康哲友，深受各國讀者喜愛，也經常受邀和不同文字作者合作繪本。繼描繪諾貝爾文學獎得主朵卡萩的《遺失的靈魂》之後，這次她和出身數學教師的法國童書作家吉爾．鮑姆合作，畫出了一本美到令人屏息的作品。曾說過「圖像不應該重複文字已經說過的事」的尤安娜，在書一開頭就以連續的全景畫面和相簿般的畫面切片將讀者吸入有如披頭四名曲〈生命中的一天〉（A Day in the Life）的氛圍之中。你看到彷彿不同時間的湖面光影，時時變化、但一日復一日。書名頁之後畫風轉成淡淡的鉛筆和色鉛筆，故事敘述進入另一個脈絡：「大家習慣待在水裡，像鯉魚那樣生活。有些日子沒有半個人開口說話。在沒有地平線的村子裡，沉默是最好的陪伴。日子就這樣過。」於是人們習慣了目光始終向下凝視――在這個泥濘的世界裡，那是唯一可能的注視方式。然而，在某個夜晚，發生了一件非比尋常的事：光和橙色色塊布滿天空。在那一刻，居民們第一次抬頭將目光投向高處，而那些直到此刻才被好奇心喚醒的孩子們，率先浮上水面想一探究竟（一翻頁，尤安娜插入了一幅仰頭望見陽光從樹梢撒下的美麗光景）。孩子們發現了一個奇特的人，正讓石頭在水面上彈跳，發出美妙動聽的旋律。以「打水漂」這個意象為引，原本充斥著泥濘、沉默和哀傷的世界，被驚奇與美感所取代――直到那壯麗的終章。插畫家尤安娜・康哲友的色鉛筆筆觸，為法國教師暨數學家吉爾．鮑姆的文字賦予了一個時而沉靜陰鬱、時而繽紛閃耀的世界。吉爾說：「我必須成為那個光輝時刻的敘述者，記錄下那種『人性復活』的瞬間。故事就那樣真切地呈現在我面前。這一次，尋找結局並不困難，它就誕生在最後一次投擲水漂的軌跡中――那次投擲比之前的任何一次都更加完美：如果那塊石頭永遠不會停下來呢？ 」而尤安娜則說：「我覺得最好讓事物保持懸念，不要過度定義或貼標籤。我有點害怕『語言』，害怕文字固定事物的力量，文字有時會削弱或截斷事物，使其變得過於明確而失去了其他可能的意義。我喜歡圖像那種模糊的特質，這是我與讀者感官之間的溝通。所以，我從不預設讀法，我的

鑑於近年研究指出女性與男性犯罪人存在犯罪之原因、型態與路徑之迥異，以及生理及心理、行為與創傷之不同，刑事司法體系亦無法針對女性之權益與特殊需求適切挹注資源與專業處遇，國際專家學者Bloom、Owen與Covington（2003）等因此倡議性別回應矯正策略與服務（Gender-Responsive Strategy/Service for Female of Fenders），以關注女性在刑事司法體系中的特殊需求、脆弱性和權益。聯合國復於2010年通過曼谷規則，特別強調了基於數據和證據的研究、性別平等與婦女權利相關的培訓和能力建設。後續聯合國於2012年通過刑事司法體系中法律援助取得途徑的原則與準則（Principles and Guidelines on Access to Legal Aid in Criminal Justice Systems）及2014年通過女性與監禁手冊（Handbook on Women and Imprisonment），以強化女性收容人之各項權益。作者長期關注國際犯罪矯治趨勢與發展，已執行多年相關受刑人犯罪行為與處遇需求之性別差異研究計畫與國際期刊發表，本書的撰寫，希冀提升女性受刑人及出監後之矯治處遇服務品質，以減少其再犯，並供犯罪矯正機構同仁及刑事司法與犯罪防治相關機構人員、博碩研究生及致力於改善女性受刑人權益之人士參考。

在本書中，小女孩 Emily 一扇門一扇門地敲問：「我可以進來嗎？」藍色的門說她不夠藍；另一扇門只歡迎老虎與鱷魚；還有一扇只為說話很小聲的人而開。每一次被拒絕，Emily 都沒有停下腳步。直到她來到一處沒有門的牆前，拿出粉筆，畫出屬於自己的門，轉動門把，走了進去。作者 Mel Rosenberg 以簡潔對話構成寓言式節奏，插畫家 Orit Magia 則以鮮明設計感畫面強化象徵意涵。本書榮獲以色列 Dvora Omer Award，並獲《Booklist》肯定。In this story about inclusion and acceptance, a girl goes from door to door, hoping to find one that will welcome her inside.

And so begins Emily's search for a door that will open. The first door is blue, and the voice behind the door tells Emily that she doesn't sound very bluish. The second door says it only opens for tigers, crocodiles, and snakes. But she is a girl named Emily-- and the animals are hungry--and so she moves on. The third is only for people who speak very quietly, and the door can hear Emily. Finally, Emily comes to a place without a door. She gets out her chalk
