(February 2016/Issue 62)

 

Legislative Council By-election (New Territories East Geographical Constituency) is a hot topic in the city. Candidates have to stand in front of audiences to answer tough questions from their opponents in debates and from the media in interviews. Do you satisfy their performance?
To prepare for the moment, reading In the line of fire: how to handle tough questions – when it counts to help you master the art of answering tough questions. Many case studies from business, politics, media and beyond were used to teach you how to learn require assurance. The author, Weissman, forewarned that all the techniques you are about to learn require a truthful answer as your foundation, otherwise all techniques will be for naught.
