Ideas

In her book, Cracking the Curiosity Code, Hamilton uncovers what could foreseeably be the next movement to enhance human performance, a critical and direct link to improving motivation and communication-based issues that challenge organizations. Drawing on decades of research and incorporating interviews from some of the top leaders of our time, Hamilton examines the factors that influence curiosity including fear, assumptions, technology, and environment (FATE). Her ground-breaking research provides an action plan to transform individuals and organizations. The organization that can stimulate its workers’ curiosity, she argues, can enhance employee engagement, emotional intelligence, innovation, and other critical factors that impact innovation.
