Education Never Ends

Leaders are learners. A leader's education never ends with the graduation ceremony. It lasts throughout his or her life. Outstanding leaders are always looking for ways to fill in the gaps in their understanding. They are constantly learning on two different levels: knowledge and skill.
Leaders have a never-quenched thirst for knowledge. They read and ask questions. They study problems, watch others, and think. A leader understands that the mind is the most effective leadership tool, and he or she sharpens it constantly.
Also, leaders are constantly in training as skillful as they may be, they constantly tone and train. They seek a racer's edge in their field of endeavor. They practice with the discipline of athlete. They read the manuals and do the roadwork. They seek the counsel of great coaches – coaches with keen insight who will provide instruction to hone their skills without discouraging them.
Who you know really is important. But what you know is the link that ties you to the person.
"If you stop learning today, you stop leading tomorrow."
