Do I lead with curiosity or assumptions?
Curiosity creates clarity.
“Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.” – Voltaire
Context and Insight
Leaders who assume breed mistrust. Asking questions deepens understanding and connection.
Why This Matters for Servant Leadership
Servant leaders model humility by seeking to understand before being understood.
