Overview
The best leaders don't have all the answers. They ask better questions. In a world of constant disruption and rising workplace expectations, the command-and-control playbook is failing. Leaders who rely on authority alone are losing their best people - and leaving enormous potential untapped. There's a better way. In Inquisitive Leadership, executive coach and advisor Frederica A. Peterson draws on more than 30 years of experience to introduce a counterintuitive but proven truth: curiosity is the most underutilized leadership skill of our time. Through her groundbreaking CAPPP Advantage(TM) Framework, Peterson gives leaders a practical, step-by-step model for replacing assumption with curiosity, control with connection, and hierarchy with trust. The result? Teams that are more engaged, more innovative, and built to perform. Readers will discover how to: - Build authentic rapport and earn real trust - not just compliance - Identify hidden talent and unlock potential others overlook - Create psychological safety that fuels honest communication and bold ideas - Connect individual motivation to organizational purpose - Cultivate a culture where high performance becomes the natural outcome At the core of Peterson's approach is Courageous Curiosity - the discipline of asking the right questions, listening without agenda, and leading with genuine humility. It's a mindset shift that transforms not just how leaders communicate, but how their entire teams show up. Whether you're a first-time manager or a seasoned executive, Inquisitive Leadership delivers a clear, actionable roadmap for the kind of leadership that actually lasts. Great leadership doesn't start with answers. It starts with curiosity.
