How to Gain Influence (Part 1)

JOHN MAXWELL
About this episode

Today we're talking about something everyone has and everyone wants more of. That's influence. John Maxwell says that leadership is influence––nothing more, nothing less. And if you're going to lead others you need to gain influence. So, today John is going to begin this two-part series on how to gain more influence so that you can up-level your own leadership with those you lead.  

For the application portion of the episode, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss John's lesson and offer some ways in which you can apply these principles to your own leadership!

Our BONUS resource for this series is the "How to Gain Influence Worksheet," which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Gain and clicking "Download the Bonus Resource."
