Her research is about the mindset and skill set of peak performers, including Nobel laureates, astronauts, and Olympic champions, which she writes about in her book, The Success Factor.

What does success look like for you and how would you define success? Certainly not the same as everyone else's but according to my guest, Dr. Ruth Gotian, she defined success as 'someone who moves the needle in their field.' She spent years researching the world's most successful people- including medical superstars like Dr. Anthony Fauci, astronaut Nicole Stott, NBA Champion Steve Kerr, and several Nobel Prize winners.

In this podcast, Dr. Gotian shares the details of her many years of researching the world's most successful people- including medical superstars like Dr. Anthony Fauci, astronaut Nicole Stott, NBA Champion Steve Kerr, and several Nobel Prize winners. 

She defined success as 'someone who moves the needle in their field' and there are four mindsets (not habits) common to all these high achievers.  These are

1.  Intrinsic motivation
2. Work ethic
3. Strong foundation, and 
4. Continuous Learning through informal learning. 

We also talked about the following:

• Experiences that most shaped who Dr. Ruth Gotian is today

Curiosity has been a hot topic over the years because most of the breakthrough discoveries and remarkable inventions throughout history, from flints for starting a fire to self-driving cars, have something in common: They are the result of curiosity. Like other animals, humans are learning machines and that's why scientists referred to us as “informavores,” creatures who search for and digest information just as carnivores hunt for and eat meat.

What Does Curiosity Have to Do with Leadership?

I sat with Dr. Diane Hamilton, a sought-after expert in emotional intelligence and behavioral science with nearly four decades of real-world experience, she's the creator of the Curiosity Code Index® and the author of five books sold worldwide. She is a thought leader in the fields of leadership, sales, marketing, management, engagement, personality, curiosity, perception, and motivation and is known for increasing engagement, improving productivity and reducing conflict. Thinkers50 Radar chose her as one of the top minds in management and leadership.

In this podcast, Dr. Diane Hamilton and I discussed the following:

1. What is curiosity and its significance

2. The link between successful leaders and curiosity.

3. How does curiosity translate into business results?

4. How organizations can foster a culture of curiosity and innovation where people are open and free to experiment with new ideas and concepts in order to unlock their full potential

5. Whether curiosity changes as we age and why we lose our childlike curiosity as we grow

6. What inhibits curiosity and how do we overcome the inhibitors of curiosity

7. How we can retrain our brain to develop curiosity
