Learning – an important skill for leaders
John F. Kennedy, former president of the United States, wrote in 1963 that leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. This is a crucial statement as it means one cannot lead without knowledge and the desire to learn, and that it is vital to continue learning to maintain a position of leadership. Being a leader entails much more than being popular or having charisma, as it is more important that leaders should be well informed. Therefore, one cannot be in a leadership position without continuously acquiring knowledge.
