The recent report says that today’s business leaders place more value on efficiency over creativity and curiosity. While understandable to some degree, the extent to which it is prioritized typically leads to the death of any form of psychological safety in teams.
Platt clarifies that the power of curiosity is in its potential for problem-solving. He says that all of the world’s greatest inventions began with someone being curious. From the wheel to modern computers, curiosity has been the catalyst for much growth and is essential to the civilization of the modern world. He argues that society needs curiosity and questions why businesses are afraid to apply it within their operations.
In his report, Platt says that placing too much importance on efficiency kills innovation and may even cause teams to become unproductive. The risk, he clarifies, is that team members may become stagnant in their thinking. The belief that “don’t fix what isn’t broken” becomes too pervasive that any potential for growth is stifled. Instead, members should be inspired to think “how can I improve existing systems?”
The new report says that business leaders need to strike a balance between efficiency and innovation to ensure the sustainability of operations while encouraging growth. It offers advice on what leaders can do to empower their teams.
