7 ways curious leaders succeed:
- Enable thinking from a new point of view. “What don’t you know?”
- Challenge assumptions. “How’s that working for you?”
- Reveal new capacities. “Did you know that you’re really good at…?”
- Expose unseen obstacles. “What if….?”
- Clarify ambiguities. “Could you help me understand …?”
- Share experience. “What has experience taught you?”
- Connect with others who have experience. “I wonder who might know about this?”
The world is filled with information, but curiosity solves problems.
Curiosity that clarifies mission:
- What need are you meeting?
- What problem are you solving?
- How does this connect with who you are?
- What’s the big picture?
- How will things be better if you succeed.
Curiosity is the beginning of knowing.
Curiosity that expands capacity:
- How are you currently impacting people around you?
- What have you learned from failure?
- Where do you have more to offer?
- Where might passion blind you to realities?
- How is past success limiting your thinking now?
You need curiosity more than information.
Curiosity that monitors and manages energy:
- What distracts you?
- What are you doing when joy fuels strength?
- Who or what do you need to let go?
- Who needs to be on the team? Why?
- How can you take a small step now?
Curiosity transforms.
Curiosity concerning grit:
- How did you press forward, the last time you felt like quitting?
- How do resistance and adversity expose what’s important?
- Who needs to be on the team? Why?
- What’s your purpose?
- What if you succeed?
Curiosity is better than knowledge as long as you know enough to ask good questions.
