Curiosity is a critical and often undervalued skill for leaders, as it drives learning, acquisition of new knowledge and skills, and creativity. These are all aspects that enable individuals, teams and organisations to proactively anticipate change and be resilient to future disruption. Curiosity is the desire to seek new information and experiences, and to explore novel possibilities. Whilst people may vary in terms of their natural levels of curiosity, it is something that can be developed significantly with practise and through the use of targeted techniques. These approaches can help leaders and others to challenge the status quo, get people to think different, and spark exploration and innovation.
