Wondering if you’re an effective leader? A good gauge to consider is how inquisitive you are.
The best leaders are insatiably inquisitive. They keep asking why. They dig for answers. They’re keenly aware of what they do not know. They are disciplined learners.
I believe everyone is a leader. While reach and effectiveness vary, everyone leads to some extent whether they want to or not. We lead by action or inaction, by speaking up or remaining silent and by pursuing knowledge or remaining ignorant.
If you do a gut check and find you’re not inquisitive anymore, chose to change course. Make a list of what you don’t know and begin to learn. Dig for answers. Keep asking why. Become insatiably inquisitive to become an effective leader again.
