“I began to realize I couldn’t make a difference by myself, and that if I was going to make a difference, I had to shift the light off of me and onto the people. Leadership was not about me, leadership was about the people.” - John C. Maxwell
What makes someone a truly great leader, and is great leadership something that anybody can engage in? Today’s inspiring Finding Brave expert guest answers these important questions, and unpacks the essential shifts every leader must undergo if they’re to thrive and lead effectively in our new world. Each one requires leaders to change the way they think, act, and lead, so they can succeed in a world that never remains the same.
Our guest today is internationally recognized leadership author, coach and speaker John C. Maxwell. A New York Time’s best-selling author with over 30 million books sold, John has trained over six million leaders from every country in the world. He’s the founder of The John Maxwell Company, The John Maxwell Team, EQUIP, and the John Maxwell Leadership Foundation and he’s a recipient of the Mother Teresa Prize for Global Peace and Leadership. Every year, he speaks to the world’s top leaders from presidents to Fortune 500 executives. He’s been recognized as the #1 leader in business by the American Management Association and his latest book, Leadershift: 11 Essential Changes Every Leader Must Embrace, is not to be missed.
In this episode, John shares his strategies for key shifts such as the Relational Shift, Influence Shift, and Impact Shift, helping leaders stay nimble and ready to adapt, so they can survive and thrive. John also shares fascinating personal information about how he got started many years ago in the work of leadership (it’s not what you would expect!), how we develops his many teaching frameworks, and the one most compelling reason he began sharing his leadership insights.
