Rather than follow your passion, lead with curiosity.
At one point or another in your career, you probably heard the old adage, “Follow your passion.” As someone who would describe herself as passionate about her chosen profession, I get it. But I’d like to suggest that the real intent behind that message has less to do with passion and more to do with a soft skill essential for happiness in your career : curiosity.
Curiosity is a strong desire to know or learn something and a major career asset. By leading with curiosity, you’ll proactively explore areas that spark your interest , develop new skills, and then integrate them into your professional toolkit. Here are five reasons why leading with curiosity is better for your career than following your passion:If you only follow your passion, you’re cutting yourself off from anyone or anything that doesn’t fit into that box. By contrast, when you’re curious, you’re open. Open to exploring new ideas, experiences, and possibilities. Open to meeting new people, learning new things, and hearing new perspectives even if they differ from your own.
