As kids, we were encouraged to be curious. But as adults, our lives are often overrun with to-do lists, calendars, and meetings.
But that doesn’t mean we should stop being curious and asking questions. Exploring new ideas and challenging the status quo is one of the most important skills for future leaders. When you’re curious, it allows you to uncover new opportunities and consider new ways of doing things.?
Curiosity might not come to us as naturally now as it once did, so we often have to schedule time to be curious. The more you take time to be curious, the easier it becomes. You’ll start to re-awaken that curiosity from your childhood and start looking at the world and your work from a new point of view.

1 年Love this - thanks for the great visual reminder too. I think even for kids we need to do everything we can to protect and encourage curiosity. Two year olds have ceaseless questions, but even by 10yrs I think we start to see that drop dramatically. I agree that we need to make curiosity a regular practice in our daily lives.
