Learning as a Leader

A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel  – Proverbs 1:5

You have probably heard the saying that leaders are learners. I think one of the key drivers to having a thirst for knowledge and to always be learning is one of the key traits of an effective leader:

CURIOSITY

Curiosity is about engagement. Curious leaders are proactive in reaching out to group members in order to better understand where they are personally, emotionally, and spiritually, and encourage them to take meaningful steps towards their heavenly Father.

• Curious leaders are hungry to know more about their group members. They go out of their way to understand group members’ perspective—not so they can change minds, but so they can connect and lead people toward deeper relationships with Jesus.
• Curious leaders don’t teach. They ask questions.
