Maxwell Leadership Podcast
John Maxwell
The Maxwell Leadership Podcast is a regular examination of what it means to be a transformational leader—someone who daily influences people to think, speak, and act to make a positive difference in their lives and in the lives of others. This podcast will teach you the principles, practices, and process of becoming a transformational leader because leadership isn't an event—it's an uphill journey. Every week we will offer a free tool to help you on this journey, so let leadership authority Dr. John C. Maxwell show you the way.

Listen to the last episode:
It's not about you—it's about them. In this week's episode, John Maxwell shares the powerful shift that transforms everyday leaders into extraordinary influencers and makes it possible for your leadership to truly impact others!
After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede share real-world examples of how making it about others unlocks trust, connection, and next-level leadership.
Key takeaways:
-
The more you focus on adding value to others, the more you'll receive value in return.
-
To communicate in a way that truly resonates, make your message all about your audience, not yourself.
-
The three questions every follower is asking about their leader: Do you care about me? Can you help me? Can I trust you?
