AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In an era where AI delivers endless answers, the real competitive edge for leaders lies in asking bold questions. In her groundbreaking new book, The Curiosity Curve: A Leader’s Guide to Growth and Transformation Through Bold Questions (October 7, 2025; Fast Company Press, $24.95), Dr. Debra Clary reveals why curiosity is the ultimate leadership advantage for building resilient, adaptive, and innovative organizations.

Drawing on more than three decades of senior leadership experience at Fortune 50 companies—including Frito-Lay, Coca-Cola, Jack Daniel’s, and Humana—Dr. Clary shows how leaders who embrace curiosity can spark innovation, strengthen collaboration, and future-proof their organizations against disruption.

The Curiosity Curve equips leaders to:

  • Drive agility – Equip teams to pivot quickly instead of clinging to outdated practices.
  • Unleash innovation – Empower employees to challenge the status quo and share bold ideas.
  • Strengthen collaboration – Build trust and alignment across diverse teams.
  • Stay ahead – Extend market leadership through pioneering solutions that keep organizations on the cutting edge.

“This book is an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to coach with intention in today’s complex world,” said Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times #1 bestselling author of The Earned Life and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There.

Other early endorsers include Jack Stahl, former President & COO of Coca-Cola, and Julia Stewart, former CEO of Applebee’s and current CEO of Alurx, who praise The Curiosity Curve for reframing how leaders can align performance with purpose.

Backed by original research and infused with actionable insights, The Curiosity Curve offers a practical framework for embedding curiosity into daily business practices. By encouraging structured exploration, focused engagement, and openness to new ideas, leaders can create environments where innovation and growth naturally flourish.
