This book started as a joke on LinkedIn, where Yves began posting a weekly question with the statement: Wrong answers only.

To his surprise, many people reached out, saying, \"I recognize some of these wrong answers—we’ve actually done this in our company!\" What started as humor quickly turned into something more.

Through these conversations, people began encouraging Yves to turn the posts into a book. At first, it was just another joke. Yet over time, it became clear—this could become a truly fascinating collection.

This e-book is a work in progress. Right now, it includes all the answers to every question, and it will continue to grow until we reach 89 questions.

The ultimate goal? To refine the book so that each question fits within just two pages of answers.

By purchasing this version, you get a unique advantage: you’ll see the book evolve over time and have access to all the answers—many of which won’t make it into the final version.

People would read anything those days!

I love this “wrong answer” game : I found it releases a lot of unspoken stuff - like you are finally authorised to say loudly all the dirty little patterns you’ve been observing you whole career !!! As good as a therapy session but less expensive..

Rachel Dubois

The truth is so much more absurd than anything I can make up. I'm stymied

Tim Ottinger

Wrong but true is a special category. We've all been there.

David Anderson

One of the interesting experiences in life is to do the opposite of what you should do so when asked give a wrong answer it felt like I was actually giving the right answer. For example when I wrote the wrong answer for post its I was told Mandy I wanted wrong answers only and I said yes this is a wrong answer. Requirements engineering is a skill and think we can write requirements on post it notes is perplexing, yes absolutely you can write a note about the said requirement but that’s about it. It was an interesting experiment.

The wrongs are a reflection of what teams and leaders face everyday. The trick is to turn this experience into positive opportunities, actions and outcomes.

I’m here for the comments

It’s such an excellent idea and I’m glad it gets a new incarnation. It reminds me of a quote from the novel Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett: A metaphor is a kind of lie to help people understand what’s true

Bob Salmon

It’s all fun and games until the wrong answers turn into a methodology

Kris Hofmans

I'd send it to some directors I've worked with except I'd fear they would take it literally

Cait Pelly

It wasn't sarcasm, it's a wrong reason

Guillaume Faas

If anyone asks what I'm doing these days, I'll say \"giving wrong answers\"

Sophia Ashley

Actually encountered people that used this...

Ruud Rietveld

That's not technically a wrong answer, though :P

Tim Stoop

This is the kind of software's version of maths' proof by contradiction.

Bob Salmo

Just to be sure - this is just cynicism and wrong answers only, right? ?
