the education to become a leader
is a lifestyle,
it's like the choice to become healthy
at the early days it's usually a lot of heavy lifting at a steep learning curve
- I have to change the way I eat
- I have to go to the gym
I hate that
And then you get into shape
and you feel good
and you look good
and your doctor is very happy with you
And the worst part is,
once you get into shape,
you have to keep going to the gym
and eating healthy for the rest of your life
It's not something you do, achieve your goal and then stop
It's the choice to live a life that way
Even though there might have been a finite goal in the short term
Leadership is the same
it is a lifestyle
it is a muscle that requires constant exercise
and though
you may study all of the theory about leadership
and you may have been good at it at one time
if you don't keep it up the muscle will atrophy
