Curiosity

Curiosity.

When someone says something that doesn’t make sense to us, we have a choice.

We can judge: “That’s wrong.” “They don’t get it.” “How can they think that?”

Or we can get curious: “Help me understand.” “What am I missing?” “Tell me more.”

One of the things running an executive team taught me: the moment you stop being curious about why someone sees it differently, you stop getting useful information.

Curiosity opens doors that judgment keeps closed.

What if you approached today’s conversations with more curiosity than certainty?
