Give Your Best to Your Best

JOHN MAXWELL
About this episode

In order to raise up leaders, you have to give the best of yourself to your best people! This week, John Maxwell teaches about how to raise up good leaders by giving your best to the people you lead. After John's lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss the lesson and give you practical ways to apply it to your life and leadership.

Key Takeaways:

-   Good people are hard to find; they are harder to keep.

-   When leaders fail to appreciate the difference between mediocre and excellence, performance decreases.

-   The top 20% of your people account for 80% of the production

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