Leader in Learning

Great leaders know how to follow. They listen and learn from others.

You have been called into a leadership role. You may only be leading your own household right now, but you are a leader. You are a leader in training, but all leaders are in this position. Leaders are learners. The only way to learn is by listening to those that know more about what you are doing than you do. In my case, this isn’t hard to do. If you a leader that thinks that you know everything and no one can tell you anything, then you won’t be leading for very long. Be sure that you are humble enough to listen. This has been the downfall of many leaders. I have experienced this on more than one occasion. Don’t be a know-it-all, which is an oxymoron. No one knows it all, but rest assured there are those that know more. There are those that have been through more. Take the advice of those that have experienced the adversity and overcome it. Listen to those that have been there, done that and learned from it. Be a life long leader by being a life long learner. Are you a leader in learning today?
