Description

Every failed strategy starts with one blind spot: the lack of curiosity.


In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the power of curiosity as the foundation of successful people strategy. This isn’t just about business, it’s about the decisions that define us as leaders.


Our guest Kenny Temowo shares a piercing insight: if you’re not asking why, you’re already behind. Through a candid conversation, we unravel why making hard choices in leadership starts with understanding what makes your organisation different and why most get it wrong.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why curiosity is the non-negotiable starting point of all great strategy

How leaders should approach hard decisions through contextual insight

The overlooked “Z” that makes or breaks your business direction

Why saying no is more important than saying yes in strategy


If you’ve ever questioned your strategic decisions or want to lead with greater intention, this is the episode to start with.
