[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In MBA classes they often said "Don't ask a question at work unless you already know the answer". And if you don't know the answer, work and research more until you do. Easier said than done, but the best advice anyone ever gave me.[/quote] Maybe it's different in business but I'm in law and this is terrible advice. The people who refuse to ask problems and who try to pretend like they have all the answers do not get nearly as far as the people who are willing to ask questions. [/quote] Yes, but there can be such a thing as a stupid question (or at least a decent question asked of the wrong person or at the wrong time) that reflects poorly on you. You have to read the room. Take notes of what you have questions on, and if you can't figure them out on your own, approach the next person up the ladder.[/quote]
