SUMMARY

Education and lifelong learning are essential components of effective leadership, shaping careers and enabling leaders to successfully navigate change in complex environments. Continuous learning encompasses much more than formal credentials – it's about developing curiosity, adapting to challenges, and cultivating a mindset dedicated to ongoing growth.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Embracing discomfort is crucial for growth as a generalist in specialized fields
• Balancing technical expertise with leadership requires honest acknowledgment of knowledge gaps
• Women leaders often use questioning and collaborative approaches to gather diverse perspectives before decision-making
• Listening deeply to others' experiences and perspectives is a powerful yet underrated learning strategy
• Transformative learning often happens when we step outside our typical day-to-day experiences

Think about one skill, topic or area of leadership that you've been wanting to develop and commit to one small step this month to start learning and growing in that area.
