Why “I Don’t Know” Is a Power Move for Leaders


Listen Later

Curiosity isn’t optional. It’s a leadership superpower — and most leaders don’t use it nearly enough.

In this episode, Josh Anderson and Bob Galen unpack what real curiosity looks like in leadership. They explore how fake curiosity shows up (leading questions, hidden agendas, performative listening), and how authentic curiosity creates space for collaboration, innovation, and trust.

You’ll learn practical ways to assess your own curiosity, how to reawaken it in your team, and why the ability to say “I don’t know” might be your most powerful leadership tool. It’s not about having the answers — it’s about creating space to find them, together.
