You can't stop learning and expect to be a great leader

          In today's environment leaders need  to be comfortable, making decisions and identifying patterns and trends without having all the data or information that we would like. In the video below there is reference made to psychologist Howard Gardner's term " searchlight intelligence."  This intelligence is described as ;"...the ability to connect the dots between people and ideas, where others see no possible connections." Leaders must put themselves in this situation where they are continuously learning, but as well they are sometimes learning on the run. At times a "ready, fire ,aim " approach. The video below illustrates the need for leaders to keep learning and continuously adapt. In the past we talked about continuous improvement for organization but today's environment calls for leaders who themselves must be in continuous improvement.
