Leaders are not necessarily selected for their curiosity, but this trait is a key competitive advantage for leadership excellence. Curious leaders – alongside their curious teams – are able to generate and implement ideas, communicate well, solve problems, and profit from a culture of openness.
This facilitated program challenges a small group of leaders into making concrete improvements in their curiosity and gives them the tools to do so.
