However, it is an important skill. It is also true that poor leadership causes so much angst in our society - from our politicians to our CEOs, our middle managers to our teachers, and so many more - surely we can think of it in simple terms, and help the ‘everyday leader’ succeed? Most of us are ‘everyday leaders’ – only a few of you will have saved the world, launched a multi-billion-dollar company, led the masses into battle, or created and led a political movement. However, we can all learn to be great leaders.  ![Alex Selwood, Co-founder Expression for Growth](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Alex%20Selwood%20Headshot%20Photo.jpg?width=45&name=Alex%20Selwood%20Headshot%20Photo.jpg) [Alex Selwood, Co-founder Expression for Growth](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/expressionforgrowth/author/alex-selwood) [Read More](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/expressionforgrowth/inspirational-leadership-is-a-mystery-to-many-rare-to-observe-and-magical-when-it-happens) ![](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/hubfs/Learning%20Transfer%20across%20Acosta%205.05.jpg) [Inspiring People](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/expressionforgrowth/tag/managers-leaders) ### [How to implement a successful blended learning approach for adult learners](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/expressionforgrowth/creating-a-successful-blended-learning-approach) Aug 3, 2022, 9:49:38 PM Learning in an adult world is not like being at school. Adults have busy lives, plenty of existing experience in their role, and often an expectation that they're "done" with learning new things.

This could be informally with friends and family, or increasingly, in our business context. What is certain, when we return to ‘normal’, it will not be the ‘normal’ that we were used to. The seismic shock that we are experiencing will shape the future. It will never be the same again. ![Alex Selwood, Co-founder Expression for Growth](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Alex%20Selwood%20Headshot%20Photo.jpg?width=45&name=Alex%20Selwood%20Headshot%20Photo.jpg) [Alex Selwood, Co-founder Expression for Growth](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/expressionforgrowth/author/alex-selwood) [Read More](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/expressionforgrowth/virtual-communication-connecting-quickly-with-your-virtual-audience) ![](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/hubfs/shutterstock_2440296323.jpg) [Coaching,](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/expressionforgrowth/tag/coaching) [Development,](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/expressionforgrowth/tag/development) [Leadership,](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/expressionforgrowth/tag/leadership) [Managers](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/expressionforgrowth/tag/managers) ### [If a job’s worth doing…I'll do it myself](https://blog.expressionforgrowth.com/expressionforgrowth/if-a-jobs-worth-doingi-may-as-well-do-it-myself) Aug 2, 2022, 1:19:24 AM Heard it before?
