In the hectic pace of daily life, it’s easy to lose our sense of wonder. But there is a remarkable power in cultivating wonder—the ability to experience awe, curiosity, and a childlike sense of marvel. By embracing it, we can infuse our lives with joy, inspiration, and appreciation for the world around us. And ultimately, wonder makes a leader more effective.
