The task of leadership is never over and never complete.  Like a craftsman, leadership evolves and changes over time.  And like the craftsman a leader must study, practice and evolve their craft.  A relentless grip onto what was once learned will not allow you to hone your craft but will stifle it.  Instead, one must be committed to learning  and experimenting with new ideas and new thoughts about leadership.  It is through this commitment that your capability grows and expands and mastery is achieved.

One hour per day of study in your chosen field is all it takes. One hour per day of study will put you at the top of your field within three years. Within five years you’ll be a national authority. In seven years, you can be one of the best people in the world at what you do.  Earl Nightingale
