Great Leaders Are Great Teachers (Part 2...

JOHN MAXWELL
About this episode

Last week we learned that great teachers know it’s all about the student. They even know their students as well as their material. In this episode, John continues his lesson on how great leaders are great teachers and offers two more tips on how to become a better guide for the people you lead! 

For the application portion of the episode, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss creating a safe environment for students to learn, and the important roles that passion and purpose play when it comes to being a great guide. 

Our BONUS resource for this episode is the “Great Leaders Are Great Teachers Worksheet,” which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Teacher and clicking “Download the Bonus Resource.”
