Effective Leaders Never Stop Learning


 



“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”


   This sentiment remains true in the context of leadership in the 21st century. Effective leaders in the VUCA era will be defined by their ability to incorporate learning into their leadership practice.


  To be effective leaders and to add value in their organizations, leaders need to be in a state of constantly learning, evolving, becoming better versions of themselves.


One big lesson of learning is how to use failure. Sorry, but the old saying, “failure is not an option” is not realistic. Even though failure is not something we desire, it is always a reality.

Part of the commitment for leaders to be learners is being comfortable with vulnerability. As a leader, you don’t have to have all the answers. Being able to admit that you don’t know, with confidence, makes you more of an authentic leader.

Take the first step and be comfortable with vulnerability.

In addition to showing a commitment to learning, it’s important to remember that as a leader, you act as an example in your organization.

Yes! Leaders who are learners set an example and establish the value of learning within an organization.

Today’s fast-paced, ever-changing, global economy requires us to never stop learning or we risk becoming irrelevant. Savvy leaders recognize this means investing in their own learning journey, so they can develop the processes and behaviors required for ongoing success.

Your success is equal to your ability to learn what you need to. Maximize it!

Never Stop Learning, Stay Relevant, Reinvent Yourself, and Thrive.
