We Is Better than Me

JOHN MAXWELL
About this episode

John Maxwell says that 1 is too small of a number to achieve greatness, and he’s absolutely right. If you want to achieve anything big, you need others. That’s where the power of teams lies. This week we’re talking about how we is better than me.

In this lesson, John Maxwell shares 6 reasons why team effort is superior to individual effort. Some of these may seem obvious to you, but others may be newer and more challenging. That’s why, after John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Becky Bursell will help you navigate John’s lesson and how to apply it to your own leadership.

Our BONUS resource for this episode is the “We Is Better than Me Worksheet,” which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/We and clicking “Download the Bonus Resource.”
