He's the author of Ask: Tap Into the Hidden Wisdom of People Around You for Unexpected Breakthroughs in Leadership and Life*. We place our organizations at risk when we miss stuff. Often, the things we miss aren’t what we don’t know. Instead, they are the assumptions we don’t even question. In this conversation, Jeff and I explore the practices that work to find what’s missing. Key Points Hidden feedback cues: Repeated questions or suggestions about seemingly small details. Increased involvement in tactical decisions. Unexpected decreases in engagement. Benefits of curiosity: When We’re Curious About People, They Like Us More Curiosity begets curiosity. Curiosity creates empathy. Curiosity makes us more resilient. Curiosity sparks: What might I be missing? How else might someone interpret the situation? How might I be impacting them? What can I learn from this person?
