We get promoted because we're good at our jobs. But being good at your job is not what makes you a good leader. Being good leader is what makes you a good leader. Being good at human skills is what makes you a good leader. And all the best leaders I've ever met who have achieved things that they could say to me, I think I know what I'm doing. Every single one of them consider themselves a student of leadership. None of them think of themselves as expert leaders. They continue to read books, read articles, watch videos, have conversations.
And not only is that humble, but it makes them really good at what they do because they're constantly learning.
