    Become a World-Class Leader
    Feb 5 2025

    In this episode, John Maxwell dives into how he became a world-class leader and offers practical steps for you to become one too!

    After his lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow sit down to talk about what John has shared and help you to apply it to your own life and leadership.

    - You don’t lead for what it benefits you. The only reason to lead is to benefit others.

    - If you keep doing the right thing every day, someday you’re going to reap a huge return.

Great Information!

Wow! This is great information that all leaders should be required to study! Having experienced both sides, as I'm sure most of you have, of following and leading...I've learned mostly from experiencing bad leadership/management. I hope to never lose trust from my team, and to not only retain the best of the best, but that the environment draws the best of the best. Servant leadership is key!

Leadership is the way to change the world!

John does a thought or CV concept builds on it with examples, others thoughts, and most importantly what I can do now and eventually everyday. John also describes the personal roadblocks and how to overcome them every time to change your world.

Well done!!

Flying back home from Pittsbugh today I listened to this podcast. Can't tell you how many notes I took but it truly fired me up! one of the key takeaways for me was what Mark said about the fulfillment from teaching others and watching the lights go on! For some reason I could never put my finger on why I truly enjoyed leading. That was it for me!! Could tell that Mark was really expressing his true self here. The other piece was we become fully alive when we know what you were created to be. Great stuff!! Man, this podcast was outstanding and thank you for all your hard work to make these episodes happen. I am a life long learner!!!
