Leaders are lifelong learners. Without curiosity and a desire for self-awareness, we stagnate.

Being insatiable learners, leaders also become teachers of others, passing down the traits and skills to help the next generation of leaders achieve their potential.

But it all starts with committing to learning more, every day. In this episode, we’ll identify nine characteristics of lifelong learners, ask you questions about five facets of the agile learner, and leave you with four tips to help you on a journey of lifelong learning.

This wraps up Season 4. I’ll be back with some changes in Season 5 — you won’t want to miss it.
