Here’s the problem: More than ever before, change is the rule, not the exception, in business. Globalization means more competition. The technology that makes you better than your competition today is obsolete tomorrow. Any knowledge you already possess is depreciating at an accelerating rate. How do you cope with the instability of it all?

learning and leading go hand in hand...change is the rule and development fuels change
I would like to offer one key philosophy that we at our company have been offering to our leaders.....Learning is not enough, we as leaders need to be constantly learning, unlearning, and re-learning. The game has changed and the rules are evolving by the minute.
Keep your running shoes on, the ride is exciting as long as you remain open, flexible, and adaptable to change. Remember, if it is difficult...you are about to grow and learn something new.
Hope you enjoy the article and my humble nuggets:)
Until next time...PS - Live on Purpose!
The way we understand leadership today needs to evolve. Understanding that what you once knew that got you where you are is not enough to keep going is important. Understanding the new responsibilities and expectations of leaders is important. For instance, being a good leader sometimes means being a good follower. And as this article points out, a good leader is a consummate learner. Without that, the things you are leading people to have already passed and others are already on to the next thing.
