“In a time of drastic change, it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.” — Eric Hoffer, American social writer

“Leaders must learn something new. Before anyone else changes, leaders must overcome their own cultural assumptions and perceive new ways of doing things and new contexts in which to do them.” — Edgar Schein, professor, MIT

“The hardest thing about being a leader is demonstrating or showing vulnerability.” — Howard Schultz, CEO, Starbucks

“People cannot be separated from their knowledge, skills, health or values in the way they can be separated from their financial and physical assets.” — Gary Becker, Nobel Prize winner

I rest my case.
