Out of the Question: How Curious Leaders Win

Out of the Question: How Curious Leader Win
offers a new mindset and a practical approach to thriving in the
firestorm of change that today's leaders face. Existing businesses
and business models are facing disruption at all levels. Our
younger employees are not satisfied with just a job, but rather,
want work that allows them to be involved and included in decisions
or they will walk. Leaders of teams who, in the past, could lead through
command and control are finding themselves unable to keep up with the pace of change
and the expanding challenges of engaging their talent.
This book offers readers a new and relevant framework to guide both personal and group
decision-making. With rich stories and practical approaches, you will learn where you currently
fall between two leadership styles defined
as the Knower leader and the Learner leader. The
authors demonstrate how you can make continuous
progress towards the ideals of Learner
Leadership in order to achieve the best possible
outcomes, which inspire and engage teams.
The key for leaders today is to carefully forge
authentic and genuine questions, delivered with
the right tone and in the right setting. By leading
with curiosity and wonder, leaders can reduce
stress on themselves by no longer needing to
have all the answers. Leading with curiosity
creates a collaborative learning environment in
which shared explorations of possible solutions flourish, leading to genuine questions.
The process is rewarding for all and the results allow a team to accelerate their progress
through the power of many.
