Answer:
One of the 10 traits of successful leaders who build successful organizations is the lust for lifelong learning. They love to learn. They look for any and every opportunity they might find to learn. The Annual Leadership Summit offered by The National League of Cities' Leadership Training Institute presents such an opportunity.
A few years ago, I set out to examine the Leadership traits of successful businesswomen. These were women who started small business ventures across the country and grew the companies into entities that generated more than one million dollars a year in revenue-and annual pay salaries and taxes to Cities both big and small. It should be noted, there are less than one million women-owned businesses that generate revenues over one million. Instead of asking why, we asked how they did it. In the book Forget the Glass Slipper, Build your Own Castle: 10 traits for building a multimillion dollar business, we look at the common traits of these ladies and other successful leaders. The one trait that did not surprise me in the least was their thirst for learning. These leaders not only crave constant learning, but demand it for those around them. Several of my colleagues confess in homes, it is often difficult to climb into bed because of the books stacked nearby.
What experience shows us is that by creating an environment that places a high value on life-long learning and personal development, one can foster a culture of growth and productivity that translates into success. How else can we explain the countless men and women who grew up in many of our small, rural communities with limited resources, but went on to rule their industries?
Expanding Minds and Capabilities
Life-long learning isn't just about the individual earning advanced degrees or certificates. Life-long learning is also about the growth of character. It is a quest to develop into a well-rounded, intelligent, soulful person. We are talking about people who want to be thinking and growing with vibrant, evolving personalities.
