I think it’s a combination of watching leadership by example and trial and error.

Honestly, I think the way it usually works is it's something you're thrown into and you either sink or learn to swim. And I'm still working on my butterfly stroke.

It’s a little bit of both, and to be clear the learning journey never stops.

For me its been (and continues to be) a journey of learning. I find as I mature as a leader I need more strategies to work within different environments and contexts. I find it extremely helpful to coach and mentor other leaders, helps me to learn and bed down the skills.
