“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” — John F. Kennedy

Coach John Wooden, who won 10 NCAA national basketball championships in 12 years for UCLA, recognized: “If I am through learning, I am through.”  Abraham Lincoln observed: “I don’t think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.”

Anne Mulcahy, former Xerox Chairman and CEO admitted, “I am still learning.  That is an important mark of a good leader…to know you don’t know it all and never will.”

The Bottom Line: Leaders are teachable, realize they don’t know it all, and never stop learning.
