In an era of constant disruption and high speed change curiosity is an aptitude that you can’t survive without. The Harvard Business Review, Brene Brown, and many others have been trumpeting the benefits of curiosity as a requirement for C-Suite professionals to navigate future trends and lead change. However, there is little, if any, discussion on what exactly curiosity is, or, more importantly, how it might be cultivated.
The Curiosity Recon is a one hour intro to curiosity challenging participants to apply ‘curiosity seeds’ – deceptively simple aphorisms – to a ‘wicked problem’. The ‘seeds’ provoke participants’ creative imagination eliciting novel approaches and open-minded questions towards their ‘wicked problem’. This is how curiosity works: asking and following the right questions is more important than finding the right answers. The most important characteristic and aptitude for leaders and teams to cultivate will be curiosity.
