What do you value most as a leader — your accomplishments, your goals or your title? Better yet, how curious are you as a leader?

Curiosity is the cornerstone of wanting to grow, explore, investigate and is associated with all aspects of human development. People should never stop learning. We all have the capacity to be better today than yesterday.

Do you have the desire to be curious? Do you want to learn and develop better skills and acquire knowledge?

Most leaders stop at a certain point and think, "I know everything there is to know about this particular job." This can send the wrong message to the people who work for you. The team is looking at what you do and how you do it.

"We don't know what we're capable of until we have an opportunity to test it," states Michael Hyatt, a well-known leadership authority.

Leaders are being tested all the time. Are you doing all you can to advance your own skills, as well as growing the people that work for you? Fostering a culture where it is OK to be curious sets the stage for better outcomes for the organization. Curiosity gives people empowerment to achieve success.

Leaders help their teams be more accomplished, and using curiosity is a way forward in acquiring the skills necessary for each individual. The proper training helps the organization to grow and prosper.

Curiosity is often seen as something only a child should have. This should be far from the norm, and curiosity can be incorporated in all aspects of your life.

There should be a strategy within the organization that supports growth, achievement and accomplishments for all. People are the foundation for any business. Equipping your employees with the proper tools helps in keeping them engaged. Curiosity is one of the best tools, because it can be used for all aspects in a person's development.

Focus on a person's abilities. Leaders should take the first steps in showing others that being curious is nothing to be ashamed of. Rather, it should be celebrated as a stepping stone for each individual's success story.

Leaders should always be on the lookout for employees they can develop. Showing your curiosity states your commitment not only to yourself, but also to others. As Hyatt writes in his book, "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership": "If you develop yourself, you can experience personal success. If you develop a team, your organization can experience growth. If you develop leaders, your organization an achieve explosive growth."

It all comes down how you use curiosity to advance the individual and lead the organization in a more positive direction. Leaders can make or break the business. By choosing to be curious, the platform is set for endless possibilities.
