Curiosity

Our son and other "home from college" young adults started summer internships this past week. Replete with a pressed shirt, lunch pail, and questions on typical work environs. An inquisitive mind has questions - what will the co workers be like? What will the office attire be? Will I be engaged in meaningful work activity? There is a new book that intrigues me, written by LinkedIn connection William Hatcher, called the Curious Public Administrator. How does this relate to local government? Well - Check in with yourself - have you lost your curiosity? Is anything novel? Get out of your comfort zone and be, again, curious - like the summer intern on Day 1. Ask questions, visit, learn, grow, onboard all over again. My guess is you will find it worthwhile!
