Change is inevitable, But self-improvment is optional

As leaders we all face change. It happens with or without us. What about self- improvement? Improving ourselves cannot happen without our permission. Yet many leaders fail to take the time to learn new ways to make things happen.

They will listen to radio rather than audio programs while in the car.
They watch TV rather than reading at night.
They wonder why they stagnate at a certain level of their careers.

The saying, "If you are not growing, you are dying" applies not only to business, but also to leaders on a personal level.

What have you been doing to keep up with your industry and to make yourself a better leader?

What did you learn last week that will help you this week?

God bless!

  1. Free time isn't always free time. I think we get in the habit of thinking, cause we aren't at work, we can stop working. I am learning, being in the car business, that I need to constantly fill my time with things that are growth based. If that makes sence. A responsible professional has very little free time. Time is potential money and potential money is your future.

  2. Great point about free-time! There is a fine line between free time and idle time also. Idle time is wasted time without a doubt and this time should be re-drirected as Chris states into learning time and productive time.
