    Leaving a Legitimate Leadership Legacy

    Leaving a Legitimate Leadership Legacy

    Have you ever wondered what legacy you’ll be leaving behind to those around you? In this episode, John C. Maxwell shares four standards that you can embrace in order to leave a legitimate leadership legacy to the people you lead! 

    After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede come together to talk about what they learned and how you can apply it to your life and leadership. 

    Key takeaways: 

    No matter what your strengths are, if character is not present in your life, it’s only a matter of time until it will hurt you and the legacy you’re passing on. 
    We over value decision-making and we under value decision managing. 
    At the end of a legacy done well or not done well, there will be a harvest. 


    Our BONUS resource for this episode is the Leaving a Legitimate Leadership Legacy Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/LeadershipLegacy and clicking “Download the Bonus Resource.”

    Questions to Ask the Leader in the Mirror

    Questions to Ask the Leader in the Mirror

    In leadership, it’s important to take a step back and ask a few key questions that will help you reflect on where you’ve been and then look forward to what’s next. That’s exactly what we’re talking about in this week’s episode! John C. Maxwell shares key questions that every leader must ask themselves when it comes to their life and leadership in order to assess performance, acknowledge gaps, and stay on track with where they want to go. After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss valuable takeaways that you can apply to your leadership as well.
    Key takeaways:
    -   “There comes a point in your career when the best way to figure out how you’re doing is to step back and ask yourself a few questions. Having all the answers is less important than knowing what to ask.” — Robert S. Kaplan
    -   It’s impossible to have your priorities correct or your passion intact if you don’t clearly see your dream.
    -   The better you know yourself and the truer you are to yourself, the greater your success.
