Build Your Curiosity Muscle-3 Daily Practices

Your expertise gets you into leadership. Your curiosity makes you extraordinary at it.

Want to know what really holds most leaders back? It’s not their experience, skills, or drive.

It’s their relationship with curiosity.

—The Cost of Always Being “The Expert”—
🔹 Innovation dies when questions stop
🔹 Problems get recycled instead of solved
🔹 Growth plateaus for both leader and team
🔹 Teams play it safe instead of exploring possibilities

When you develop curiosity as a leadership skill:

✅ The quiet experts on your team speak up
✅ You spot problems while they’re still opportunities
✅ Your team challenges ideas instead of just nodding along

—Make Curiosity Your Advantage—

▪️ Replace “I know” with “Tell me more”
▪️ Switch “What’s wrong?” to “What if?”
▪️ Follow “That’s interesting” with “Help me understand”
▪️ Change “Here’s what we should do” for “What do you see?”

The most effective leaders I’ve worked with? They’re not the ones with all the answers.

They’re the ones who’ve mastered the art of asking the right questions.
