“Curiosity leads to courage, which leads to audacious ideas. If you’re curious, you have to be courageous enough to ask questions that you don’t know the answer to without fear. Once you are comfortable with that, you become audacious and that’s when the big ideas happen—the big ‘what if we did this’ questions come,” says Julie Featherstone, Senior Associate Vice President, Advancement Operations at the University of Virginia, U.S. In the latest issue of #CASECurrents, experts and #advancement leaders discuss the benefits of embracing and fostering curiosity in the workplace.
