Fundamental leadership quality – the ability to learn

“Highly effective, remarkable leaders must be continuous, lifelong learners.”  Kevin Eikenberry

An important skill or ability that is often neglected when we list the qualities of a leader is the ability to learn.  Leaders must have the ability to learn. The reasons for this are detailed at Talking Story with Say Leadership Coaching,  Why Learning is a Leaders’s Most Important Skill.

The 4 fundamental ideas presented include:

• Leadership is complex, requiring multiple skills and specific knowledge.

• The current situation does not require leadership, it’s stable.  In order to move away from the present and lead into the future, you have to know where and how.

• A leader passes on their knowledge and insight to others.

• The more you learn, the more effective you become as a human being and member of society.
