  • The Curious Leader: Elevating Communication and Team Performance

    The Curious Leader: Elevating Communication and Team Performance
    Feb 16 2026

    In this episode, we explore why curiosity maybe one of the most underestimated leadership skills.

    You’ll discover:

    • The hidden cost of assumption in leadership

    • What curiosity does to the brain

    • Why curiosity reduces ego-defensiveness

    • The link between curiosity and psychological safety

    • Practical ways to operationalise curiosity in daily leadership


    Curiosity shifts us from:

    Interpretation → Investigation

    Judgment → Inquiry

    Assumption → Exploration

    Reaction → Response


    Curious leadership doesn’t lose authority.

    It gains influence.”
