 Teaching and leadership, two words associated with learning. Parents may believe that we teach our children language through early development, and young officers may believe that leadership skills are mastered through teaching alone. But neither the practice of teaching language nor refining leader skills are mastered passively. We expose our children to language by inviting them to uniquely listen, process, practice, and refine with active feedback. Effective leader learning also emerges through a self-paced process born of the rigor of active trial and error. Do not expect to passively teach yourself leadership. Trust transitions from passive to active. Embrace trials while expecting errors and seek humility during correction and refinement. As new speeches emerging, a leader's language is beginning. Lead well this week.
