Every organisation wants leaders (and employees) who can continually innovate, who can operate from the bigger picture, spot new opportunities, build trust and commitment and enable their people to adapt to new realities. To remain competitive in an increasingly uncertain future, organisations need to continuously develop and exercise their people. Intelligence, knowledge and skills have typically been seen as the cornerstones for developing effectiveness and have driven most approaches to leadership development.
Whatever the nature of the issue you are dealing with, from developing exceptional leaders, managing change or building more collaborative learning cultures to inspiring more creativity and initiative or even resolving interpersonal problems - developing the curiosity quotient of yourself and your people provides a foundation of optimism and a springboard to imagination, innovation and possibility. This Cultivating Curiosity training course has been designed to inspire curiosity both by the content presented and via the delivery processes employed. The sessions will be a mixture of facilitated discussion, exercises, role plays and feedback. You will be encouraged to examine and understand your own and others assumptions, beliefs and behaviours. The sessions have been also designed to provide a mix of inspiration, practical ideas and opportunities for self-learning and reflection.
