Leadership is like fitness.
You can get fit.
But you can always get fitter.
You can learn to lead.
But can always become a better leader.

Exciting because there’s an endless opportunity to improve.
Depressing because it’s overwhelming to know you need to to improve.
That’s why leadership can be fickle.
