🧠 What if the most powerful leadership skill isn’t having answers—but asking better questions?

In this episode of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, Joey Pinz sits down with innovation leader, speaker, and author Joe Lalley to explore how curiosity can transform leadership, decision-making, and personal growth.

Joe shares insights from his book Question to Learn, explaining why the best leaders create cultures where it’s safe to say “I don’t know”—and then explore solutions together. The conversation dives into the power of open-ended questions, how ego blocks curiosity, and why organizations often fall into inefficient meetings and decision paralysis.

Joe also draws powerful parallels between running marathons, business leadership, and personal growth, revealing how endurance, curiosity, and experimentation drive innovation. The discussion also explores the future of AI and leadership, and why outsourcing thinking to technology could become a serious mistake.

💡 If you want to become a better leader, thinker, or problem solver, this conversation will challenge how you approach learning and decision-making.
