Leadership Advice & Tips

I absolutely love this article! 

When you as a leader get to know yourself more and more...that means you know your hot buttons, blind spots, and overall how you are hard wired, you are able to start navigating effectively regardless of the weather and situation.

When you move into a place of curiousity, it places judgments and opinions in the parking lot, and now you are open to learn.

So often as leaders we may fall into debate situations where we are stuck in our opinion and are not open to learning. 

Why don't we all push ourselves to be curious the next time someone makes a suggestion that we may not agree with.  What would happen if instead of making a face and a statement that haults the idea -- we make a curious statement.  For example, "John, that sounds interesting -- I'm curious tell me what our team considered to come to that conclusion."  Then simply listen.

I believe we will all be surprised just how much we learn!  Try it and let us know what you think.
