Leadership; I used hear, repeat and believe some old sayings that we have passed on from generations to generations. If we think about them they were not true. For example this one that is really popular. “You can’t teach old dogs new tricks.” This maybe true for dogs but not humans.
Humans have the ability to change their mind and learn something new all day everyday. We can decide to learn and grow.
Leaders are influencers, and if we want to remain impactful with future generations, we must work towards knowing what the generations are dealing with in this time.
We often remain in our own generation and we try to pass on survival methods that work for us. In our time we used swords. But this generation might need slingshots. Yup; I am going to use the words leaders do not want to hear, we must continue to work at being relevant.
Coaches will spend hours studying the next opponent for his fighter, so he will know how to train his fighter. This is how leaders can impact the generations. We need to know what they are up against.
