Leadership Unlocked · 2025-06-25 · 15 min
What if your greatest leadership superpower wasn’t your voice - but your questions? In this episode of Leadership Unlocked, Dusty unpacks the single best advice he ever received: be interested, not interesting. From a homeschool upbringing that sparked lifelong curiosity to a game-changing moment inspired by Jim Collins and Peter Drucker, Dusty shares how learning to ask the right questions transformed his leadership. He explains why curiosity builds trust, why humility fuels influence, and how flipping your "questions-to-statements" ratio can unlock untapped growth in your team. If you’ve ever felt pressure to perform or prove yourself in leadership, this episode is a powerful reminder that insight starts when we stop trying to impress - and start seeking to understand. Great leaders don’t have all the answers; they ask better questions. This one shift could be your leadership unlock.
