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.

Maxwell Leadership Podcast

It's easy to value people you like. But as a leader, affirming people's worth isn't an option — even if you don't see eye to eye. In this week's episode, John Maxwell is sharing 4 practical ways you can develop the all-important skill of uplifting and valuing others!
 
After John's lesson, Mark Cole challenges you with 3 others-focused tasks to complete in the week to come so that you can apply this principle in your life and leadership.
 
Key takeaways: 
 • 

High road leaders value all people equally, even those different from them.
 • 
 • 

Valuing people yields relational, emotional, and leadership returns. 
 • 
 • 

Valuing people is an intentional action, not a feeling.
 •

After John's lesson, Mark Cole unpacks John's teaching points so you can apply them directly to your life and leadership.

Your Motives Matter

In this Thanksgiving-week episode of the Maxwell Leadership Podcast, John Maxwell reminds us that effective, impactful leadership isn't about what you receive — it's about what you give. He explains how the most effective leaders focus on servant leadership, sowing into others, and making their contribution bigger than their reward. 
 
After John's lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow share how this principle applies in today's organizations—from mentoring employees to overcoming entitlement and inspiring genuine employee motivation through example and gratitude. 
 
You'll learn how to: 
 • 

Replace entitlement with a mindset of service and contribution.
 • 
 • 

Lead through generosity, not expectation.
 • 
 • 

Turn competition into collaboration by focusing on team growth. 
 • 
 • 

Model selfless leadership that strengthens trust and performance. 
 • 
 • 

Inspire others through consistent gratitude and example.
 •
