I fear for these senior leaders and their organizations. It means we need to continually reinvent ourselves to keep up, and that is a good thing. It’s unfortunate that some executives want to cover up or deny their own learning. Suggestions for C-suite executives Be open about your own learning and development.

The leader-first and the servant-first are two extreme types. Some of these servant leaders express reluctance to “impose” on others to help with the workload. Consider the following: You will serve others best by taking care of yourself first. Your followers and your organization will thank you.

Some of the most engaging leaders I know are able to perfect the art of being “self effacing” and having a laugh about the peculiar things they do. This helps others to lighten up and enjoy you, too. The minor irritations that build up over a day, a week, a month or more can get in the way of our really enjoying others.

It makes sense – when a leader is inspirational (i.e., gives others “life&# ), others want to follow.
