Session Overview
The shadow a manager casts on the team is one of the biggest drivers for productivity, engagement and the feeling of well-being of the team. Those managers who do this well, uplift the team. Those who don’t, stifle it. The key to effective task management and people leadership is curiosity. Curious leaders are good at operationalizing the present as well as securing the future. They create the psychological safety for the team to thrive. Curious leaders represent a high level of cognitive, empathic, and self-reflective curiosity. They are curious about the world around them, the people they work with and about their own internal conscious and unconscious drivers. They go out of their way to engage with their team, also in times of crisis. They stretch their teams to excel in the present and to embrace the future. They are Intentionally curious. In this interactive session we explore what we know about curiosity and why it is important for leaders, teams, and organizations.
