Dr. Debra Clary began passionately researching curiosity a few years ago after being asked if she thought it was something that can be learned. Since then, she has become a thought leader on the connection between leadership and curiosity and has shared her expertise with over 10,000 people. She has discovered that curiosity is not only able to be learned but is a contagious state and a predictor of achievement.
Curiosity is key to evolution, innovation, and growth. It’s an innate human tendency and one that, when encouraged and tapped into, can generate new ideas, authentic connection, and engagement.
In this conversation we ask:
- What are the behaviors of a curious leader?
- What kills a culture of curiosity?
- How do we become and develop curious leaders when it feels like we have no time?
- What does curiosity have to do with building cultures of inclusion and belonging?
