Sharpening the Saw
Remember that old story about the lumberjack who was so busy cutting down trees that he didn’t have time to sharpen his saw? Well, that describes many leaders today. We’re so caught up in the day-to-day grind that we forget to invest in the one tool that matters most—ourselves.
Here’s the thing about leadership: what got you here won’t necessarily get you there. The skills that landed you your first management role are just the entry fee. If you want to keep growing and stay relevant, you’ve got to make learning a non-negotiable part of your routine.
