About this episode

In this episode of the Maxwell Leadership Executive Podcast, hosts Perry Holley and Chris Goede discuss the concept of 'keeping score' in leadership, drawing insights from John Maxwell's book 'High Road Leadership.' They explore how keeping score can negatively impact relationships and influence, and provide strategies for adopting a high road leadership approach, including keeping track without keeping score, practicing forgiveness, and treating others better than they treat us. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and an abundance mindset in fostering positive team dynamics and personal growth.
