Vision Casting and Vision Collecting: A Big Difference!

Visions that are truly shared take time to emerge. They grow as a by-product of interactions of individual visions. Experience suggests that visions that are genuinely shared require ongoing conversation where individuals not only feel free to express their dreams, but learn how to listen to each other's dreams.  Peter Senge

In a world that is constantly changing, there is no one subject or set of subjects that will serve you for the foreseeable future, let alone for the rest of your life. The most important skill to acquire now is learning how to learn.  John Naisbitt

Even though I posted on life long learning last week, I am doing it again this week. It is a core value. It is a best practice. It is THE ESSENTIAL COMMITMENT leaders must have.

Leaders are learners.
It is those who learn, who will be able to lead.

Foolish, confused, out-of-date, behind the times, under-informed, or mis-informed is what happens when leaders don't learn, or minimally learn.
