What Is a Good Business Leader’s Most Critical Leadership Skill?

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

- Stephen Hawking

That is, demonstrating curiosity and inspiring and cultivating the natural curiosity in your staff. Ineffective business leaders are the ones who have lost their passion and curiosity for their subject or even for their job.
