Great leaders must continue learning and be open to new ideas and perspectives. This can be incredibly challenging for leaders for many reasons, including an ever-changing business landscape and pressure from themselves and others to be infallible — not to mention it is tough to get honest feedback when you’re the boss!

As part of the series, Advice for Success, I enjoyed asking Samantha Sloan for her best tip for a leader who wants to keep growing and learning despite the challenges.

Samantha Sloan is the Founder & Director of 123 People Development and co-Director of Resilient Pilot. 123 People Development is a training company specialising in coaching, leadership, and digital skills, and Resilient Pilot is a not-for-profit offering coaching and mentoring to the aviation industry.

Thank you so much for weighing in with your expertise here! What is one tip you can share with leaders who need to navigate change and ensure they stay open to new perspectives and ideas?
