Curiosity may have killed the cat according to some, but recent research shows it’s a trait that will be one of the most sought-after skills for the future. 

 

According to a report in the Harvard Business Review  when it comes to the jobs of tomorrow, cultivating curiosity at all levels can help leaders and their employees adapt and face uncertain market conditions and external pressures.  

 

The report claimed that when one’s curiosity is triggered, people think more rationally and deeply about decisions and come up with creative solutions. The report also said leaders gain more respect from their followers by asking them more questions, and employees tend to develop more trusting, collaborative relationships with colleagues.
