Leadership growth requires feedback and continual learning. It’s no exaggeration to say that if you’re done learning, you’re done leading. The world changes. People grow. And your influence will grow too if you invest in your leadership growth. But that growth is a choice – and one that not every leader will make. I recently spoke with a senior executive who surprised me with her vehemence.

I call Melissa to tell her my newest discovery.
