Before reading the article I had a different lens as to what these were. Askers - Peers exhibiting learned helplessness about their problems and questions in work chat and meetings. No research done, ask easy LMGTFY questions, assume anyone responding are now equally (if not completely) responsible for the solution. Guessers - Do research, shared what they've tried, are only looking for the tiniest directional hint. Can be frustratingly vague sometimes but are way more resourceful. The article covers at least some kf the dimensions that makes these two types better or worse * "Good" askers are tactful and generous in praise, "bad" askers are indifferent to the harm they inflict * "Good" guessers document and share the whole context upfront, "bad" guessers just struggle in silence and only at or after failure do they reorient.
