Welcome back to The Human Side of Business with host Ange MacCabe. In episode 2 of our 10-part Back to Basics series, we explore one of the most overlooked leadership superpowers: the shift from judgement to curiosity.

Ange is joined again by Maria Maycock, Intuity Consultant and human-centered leadership expert, to unpack how leaders can replace assumptions with inquiry — and why that small shift dramatically improves psychological safety, decision-making, and team performance.

In this episode:

  • Why judgement shows up in leadership — and how to catch it
  • The power of asking “What else could be true?”
  • Curiosity as a tool for performance, innovation, and trust
  • Practical tools like pre-mortems, SBI + Q feedback, and curiosity rituals
  • How curiosity directly impacts retention, engagement, and collaboration

Backed by research from Harvard Business School, Google’s Project Aristotle, and Gallup, this episode gives you actionable ways to make curiosity a leadership habit.

Best for: Team leaders, founders, HR leaders, and anyone building human-centered teams.
