The key to connecting with other people is not knowing all the answers but knowing the right questions to ask, says Andrew Sobel, a management consultant and author of Power Questions.

Mr. Sobel says the best relationships―whether with donors, clients, bosses, or co-workers—are the result of listening to others and finding the best way to fulfill their needs. (See an interview with Jerold Panas, his co-author, on the lessons their book holds for fundraisers.)

Read the transcript below of a live online discussion with Mr. Sobel, who answered questions about how to build strong professional relationships, reach out to donors, and motivate colleagues.
