Dr Brian Glibkowski is a leading authority on business communication and the pioneering mind behind Answer Intelligence (AQ), the first validated framework that elevates the role of answers in leadership, strategy and organizational performance. While questions have traditionally dominated conversations about inquiry and problem-solving, Dr Glibkowski recognized a critical gap: most professionals have never been taught how to answer with precision, relevance and impact. His research uncovered that answers can be classified into six distinct types—story, metaphor, theory, concept, procedure and action—each essential to effective communication and persuasion.
