This week, I had a first session with a founder running a $400M+ ARR med-tech company.

They’ve built something remarkable — but now they’re shifting gears. Moving from being the hands-on founder to stepping into a focused President role. That means more clarity, more structure, and a new kind of leadership.

We covered a lot, but one thing stood out.

They asked more questions than I did.

And not surface-level ones. These were sharp, honest, and genuinely curious.

They weren’t trying to prove anything. They weren’t pretending to know it all. They were focused on learning — and trusted that curiosity would take them where they needed to go.

That’s real leadership.

Harvard research shows curious leaders make better decisions, build stronger teams, and avoid the blind spots that trip others up. They’re more adaptive, more self-aware, and better at navigating complexity — all of which are essential when you’re scaling fast.

But many high performers fall into a common trap: needing to be right. You hear it in how they speak — always starting with “I think,” even when they haven’t really listened yet.

That shuts down better ideas before they surface.

Leadership doesn’t start with having all the answers. It starts with asking better questions.

So here’s your challenge: Be more curious today.

Try it with your team. With your partner. With your kids. See what changes when curiosity leads the conversation.

Because curiosity isn’t soft — it’s a skill. One that builds trust, unlocks growth, and drives better outcomes.

If you’re ready to strengthen how you lead — whether as a founder, executive, or high-performing manager — I can help.
