It is not surprising that most CEOs and other senior leaders put a brake on their personal development as a leader once they are in that position. First, they got to where they are by being who they are! Who can argue with that? And second, the job as a CEO can often be overwhelming, time-limiting and lonely. And there is so much more operational stuff to learn, in areas where they are not experts.  Hardly surprising that they tend to feel “There is just no time for continuing to develop as a leader”.

That’s powerful for enabling your team to deliver big outcomes.
