..But satisfaction brought it back
Curiosity killed the cat
When asked to name the one attribute CEOs will need most to
succeed Michael Dell, CEO - Dell Inc., replied,
“I would place my bet on curiosity.”
Can Curiosity be learnt?
Given the right conditions, all of us have the
potential – look back to when we were children
MAKING CURIOSITY REAL
AT ORGANIZATIONS
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL
84% of employees feel
their employers encouraged
curiosity*
60% of employees
believe there are barriers to
building curiosity into
work*
Legacy structures, continued emphasis on authority and routine
discourage the expression of Curiosity
*Merck KGaA study
• Establish freedom and incentives to
ask questions
• Keep the questions
• More genuine than rhetorical
• Exploratory not just practical
• Penetrating, but also speculative
• Bring inquiry into day-to-day
conversations, meetings and
projects
# 1
Encourage Inquiry
• Proactively encourage different perspectives
• Capture the minority and dissenting voices
• Focus on the perspective not the individual
# 2
Examine multiple Points of View
# 3
Encourage Learning of all kinds
• Let curiosity wander outside the corporate bubble
• Establish personal time policies allowing for “passion projects”
• Keep continuous conversation regarding life outside of the office
• Find meaningful ways to connect work with other interests
# 4
Don’t play the Blame Game
• Avoid the ‘villain, victim, and hero’
dynamic
• Create a secure environment to fail
• Empower employees with ownership –
embolden them to fight for their ideas
• Stay forward facing even in the face of
failure
Building such an organization is a daunting task
– but one well worth the investment and risk

THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THE
CURIOUS
