“The best leaders I know are students of leadership.
There’s no such thing as an expert leader. We are students of leadership. Even the most senior leaders constantly are reading books, reading articles, watching talks, having conversations all the time about leadership. They are always in learning mode.
Anyone who wants to be a leader, you have to choose to be a student of the subject.” Simon Sinek
