A Leader's Learning

There are three aspects of a personal learning strategy that are critical to the effective learning of eminent performers, senior executives and successful professionals:

First, the strategy must include a method for extracting insight from experience. This allows a leader to gain from the challenges life continually dishes up, including the crucible experiences that define them as leaders. 

Second, a leader’s learning strategy must be driven by a powerful aspiration that encourages growth and adaptation. 

Third, the learning strategy must be built around a concept and regimen of deliberate practice that connects learning and performance.
