It's easy to interpret Peter Drucker’s famous advice about learning—“the most pressing task is teaching people how to learn”—through the lens of a leader. Help your people become better learners and your team will be nimble and ready for change. It's a common trap for top-level leaders: We forget to view advice through the lens of a high performer who needs to personally keep growing and improving.
