# The greatest leaders are self-enabled students of growth Created On: 11-01-2022 09:32 am Up:: [[Leadership (MOC)]] Tags:: #note/evergreen🌲 Topics:: [[Growth (MOC)]] Related:: --- Counter to the idea that leaders are naturally talented or good at what they do; that leadership cannot be taught or learned - this is a fallacy. **Great leaders are great learners - they're [[Master thinker]]s and have an insatiable attitude for personal growth**. They're not solely dependent on others to feed into them; they search in themselves for growth through critical objective reflection. They invite others who are more experienced, knowledgeable, and wise to help them evolve their understanding through exploratory dialogue; unpacking the deeper tenants of the growth opportunity at hand - fermenting it in their mind through conversation, where it ages and becomes a fine wine of deepened understanding. This can not be achieved artificially. It is curated and crafted intentionally.
