Future Ready Leadership With Jacob Morgan21 Joulu 2022

4 Characteristics of Highly Innovative People

Curiosity is a key ingredient for innovation.

According to research ‌by Dr. Todd Kashdan, there are four characteristics that highly curious people with the greatest ability to innovate possess.

1. Joyous exploration. It's the fun and excitement of trying to discover something new.

2. Deprivation sensitivity. There's a gap between what you know and what you want to know, and you have to try to close that gap.

3. Openness to other people's ideas. It's not just about getting feedback from other people, it's about actively seeking diverse opinions.

4. Stress tolerance. The ability to deal with stress.
