Learning about people and how to be a great leader, can happen outside of the traditional business sphere. Some people get business ideas from philosophy or studying religion. It all depends on what you're passionate about.
Inspiration can come from the most unusual of sources.
Tom Glocer, the CEO of Reuters, said that the philosophical writings of Honoré de Balzac served as a guide for him in the business world:
"With Balzac, ideas don't necessarily only come from a very direct path. Often the bigger lessons in life get learned in slightly indirect or abstract ways. If you're thinking of a problem in a narrow space, often the solution lies in reorienting in the way you approach the problem, and you end up solving a general set of problems."
If you can find something that motivates you and hones your potential, that is what is most likely to help you succeed.
