About this episode
When difficult times happen in life or in leadership, it can be tempting to want to give up instead of keep going. That’s why on today’s episode of the Maxwell Leadership Podcast, we’re starting a brand new two-part series on overcoming instead of being overcome. In today’s lesson, John C. Maxwell shares four R’s that people who give up are usually beat up by so that you can recognize those things in your leadership and work towards overcoming them!
After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow sit down to discuss what they have learned and give you helpful advice on how you can apply it to your own life and leadership.
-
The most important lessons I’ve ever learned are out of my mistakes in life.

If you add value to those below you, that’ll take care of the pride problem.
