If you find yourself wondering how to improve your leadership this year, you might want to take the no-buzzwords approach. Choose curiosity over fear: When fear is the primary motivator, we infrequently get what we want. When told the probability of winning/losing is similar, an average participant requires a guarantee of twice the value of the potential loss before he/she considers entering the bet. This means a lot of us are fearful of making the wrong decisions because we want a guaranteed win, so at work, we often lead from a place of fear.
