POWER QUESTIONS TO ASK THE NAME DROPPER

If Lewis says … ‘the MD, Jim — or JB to his friends — suggested to me over the weekend that I am next in line for the Florida assignment’, consider challenging him with the following, using a friendly, enquiring tone:

What did the MD actually say? (Note: if you get a vague or indefinite answer to this question then it is almost certainly a game!)

What is the connection between you and the MD?

How well do you know the MD?

How would the MD feel if he knew you were discussing this with me?

What reaction would I get if I asked him directly to clarify the position?

What are you hoping to achieve by telling me this?

Who else is in line for Florida?

What reason would the MD have for being so indiscreet?

What else did the MD say?
