I am wondering if a "How" should always be answered starting with "By?"



How Do We Improve As a Company?



• By accepting and embracing change



• By going the extra mile in our customer service



• By keeping up with technology



Or is it okay to just answer like this, for example:



• Accept and embrace change



• Go the extra mile in our customer service



• Keep up with technology

  • Either is fine. The advantage of the second might be seen where the question comes as part of a planning/review process. The bullet points could in that case serve both as suggested answers and (where agreed) as priorities or next steps.
