Short YouTube talk asserting that there is no such thing as an "expert leader"; leadership is presented as a continuous learning practice. Speaker A says even the most senior leaders remain students—reading, watching talks, having conversations—and advises aspiring leaders to choose to be students of leadership.

The best leaders I know.
Are students of leadership. There's no such thing as an expert leader. It doesn't exist. Like, there's no such thing as an expert parent. It doesn't exist. Right. We are students of leadership. And even the most senior leaders constantly are reading books, reading articles, watching talks, having conversations all the time about leadership. They're always in learning mode. And I think for anyone who wants to be a leader, you have to choose to be a student of the subject. Like anything, if you want to be good at something, you have to study it.
