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.

Good Leaders Make Friends, Not Fans

How do you keep your success from becoming the very thing that sabotages your leadership? In this week's episode, John Maxwell reveals the overlooked practices that stabilize lasting achievement and keep leaders grounded at every stage of their journey. 
 
After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson share real-world strategies and thoughtful application to help you translate John's insights into leadership habits you can use today.
