45. Three Leadership Distinctions That Matter: Curiosity vs. Inquisitiveness, Knowledge vs. Wisdom, and Heroing vs. Hosting

What if the gap between being curious and creating real change is just one small action?

And what if the leadership move you've relied on your whole career is actually limiting your impact?

This short episode cuts through the noise to explore three powerful distinctions that can transform how you lead. These aren't abstract theories. They're practical frameworks that help you navigate the messy, complex situations leaders face every day.

You'll discover:

  • Why curiosity by itself isn't enough, and the one action that turns wondering into wisdom
  • The crucial difference between knowing what to do and understanding when to do it (and when not to)
  • How shifting from hero to host leadership creates sustainable impact and brings out the best in your team
  • Why heroing might feel productive while hosting builds resilience, innovation, and genuine engagement

This is a bite-sized episode designed for leaders who want practical insights they can apply immediately. Pick one distinction, experiment with it, and notice what shifts.

Whether you're leading a team meeting, navigating uncertainty, or simply wanting to deepen your leadership practice, these three distinctions offer a fresh lens on what makes leadership truly impactful.
