72 Hours With John Maxwell

For the third year in a row, I had the chance to spend three days with John Maxwell.

Today, we'll talk through the powerful lessons learned.

I liken this to the time that John Maxwell had in his younger years when he was learning from John Wooden.

One of the big topics we discussed is the reality that we are in a world that has a leadership vacuum. Adversity separates true leaders from the pretenders and we have had a tremendous amount of adversity over the last few years.

After a crisis, it is mission critical that a leader takes the time to CAST VISION of what is next. The step that most leaders miss at this moment is to be willing to ASK for a commitment once the vision has been laid out. Pushing people to put skin in the game is part of what will help people stay the course and work toward the goal rather than abandoning it to do something else. 

We often talk about the HOW and the WHAT... tips and tricks do help. But true leaders teach values that endure over time as well as the driving principles that move your team toward the overall end goal.

John always brings us back to the WHY. That core belief is the fuel that any team and any dream will actually run on!
