Curiosity

The best leaders are curious about others around them. The leaders on great teams are genuinely curious about their teammates, and their teammates success. They also have the ability to do their own job while also having the mental capital to think about others. Not everyone does, which is why not everyone is a great leader in the traditional sense. Certain players can only focus on their own job to be able to get it done, and that’s okay. They don’t have the mental space to think about what’s going on with their teammates while also handling their job.

When you are looking for your best leaders, look to those who are curious about what is going on around them. Find the guys that can handle their own business and still understand what’s going on around them. Great leaders are curious about their teammates. That is the first step in making their teammates better.
