In a recent exploration with 15 Design Leaders, an insightful theme emerged: curiosity is essential for effective leadership in design. This quality transcends mere personality traits, serving as a tactical approach to overcoming barriers between teams and fostering collaborative relationships. With a focus on achieving design efficiency, designers must effectively communicate the value of their work and the broader influence it has on organizational goals. The challenge lies in navigating perceptions about design roles within companies and establishing equal footing in conversations.
Curiosity shouldn't just be a personality trait. It's a strategic tool that design leaders use to break silos and build relationships.
Learning is always easier than talking on equal footing; many organizations are sometimes unaware of designers' other responsibilities and outputs beyond visuals.
