Great excpert from Built for the Fight by Mike Tobias
“Stay Humble and Keep Learning The best leaders never stop learning. They ask questions. They seek wisdom. They stay teachable, even when they are in charge.
Look at Solomon. When God gave him a blank check, he did not ask for power or wealth. He asked for wisdom. And because of that posture, God gave him both. That one decision shaped a generation of leadership and built a kingdom known for peace and prosperity.
Now look at Saul. He had the position, the title, and the people’s praise. But he stopped listening. He refused correction. He acted out of fear and pride. And it cost him everything.
The difference was not talent. It was teachability.
If you want to lead well, stay humble. Read. Ask questions. Surround yourself with men[tors] who challenge you to grow.
Let others speak into your blind spots. Be slow to speak and quick to learn.
Leaders who stop learning eventually stop leading.”
