And it turns out that it CULTIVATE helps produce more than new ideas. Recent research by Francesca Gino at Harvard Business School points to several surprisingly practical beneits for business: CURIOSITY Curiosity improves decision making because it reduces our susceptibility to stereotypes and to conirmation bias; it fuels employee engagement and collaboration; and it fortiies organizational resilience by prompting creative problem solving in the face of uncertainty and pressure. In short, curiosity boosts business performance. And yet, while managers may say they value inquisitiveness, too often they stile it. In a survey of some 3,000 employees across a wide range of irms and industries, Gino found that just one-quarter reported feeling curious on the job regularly, and 70% said they faced barriers to asking more questions at work. Gino found that leaders discourage curiosity for two main reasons: First, they believe that if they let employees explore new ideas and approaches, they’ll have a managerial nightmare on their hands. Second, their single-minded pursuit of eiciency leaves little room for experimentation. In “The Business Case for Curiosity” (page 48)—the lead article in our Spotlight package—Gino ofers ive tactics for combating these managerial tendencies. Her solutions are straightforward: hire for curiosity and Senior associate editor Susan Francis and Adi Ignatius model inquisitiveness, for example. But reaping their considerable beneit takes consistency and discipline. Gino’s work suggests that the widespread obsession with eiciency may undermine long-term business success. So encourage your employees to ask questions. Your future may depend on it.
