Curiosity is the driving force behind our evolution, continuous innovation, and ongoing learning, and can be our most significant advantage in a world of unprecedented change. I think many of us are naturally curious, and if not, the capability can be acquired through intentional development and nurturing. Curiosity doesn't always start with answers—it often begins with questions. Some of the most powerful possibilities became a reality because someone dreamed big and asked questions like "Why?" or "How?" or, my favorite, "What if?", allowing the reimagination of what's possible.
As we witness the 21st century unfold, it is best characterized as the age of what I call Industrial Disruption. Every generation before us has had to face some degree of change and disruption, leading to the development of new forms of innovation leadership. Earlier generations have witnessed how innovation has changed how people work, and later generations have experienced how innovation has transformed where people work. Now, in this period of Industrial Disruption, we are seeing how innovation is changing what people do.
