Summary: Curiosity: The Secret Ingredient for Success in Personal and Professional Growth describes the ins and outs of curiosity: what it is, how it works and what it does; how it influences success for individuals and organisations, why it is hard to maintain over time and how we – and our organisations - can get (even) better at it. The book is a practical guide for professionals to help them become aware of and take intentional action towards being more curious towards the world, others and even themselves. With curiosity gaining traction in the business world as a new paradigm for being, relating and leading for the 21st century, Stefaan van Hooydonk’s deep dive into the very concept of curiosity has never been more timely. In this book, readers will learn about: ● Why curiosity is magical and complex—and far more than a simple one-dimensional word ● How curiosity drives innovation, continuous improvement, and employee engagement all at once ● The science of curiosity, drawing on insights from data and the latest research on this topic A highly unique resource on one of the most influential concepts in business success and beyond, Curiosity earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of professionals young and old, as well as HR, learning professionals, managers, and all individuals seeking to be a little more curious and unlock a new world of meaning and opportunity.
