Strategies for Handling Resistance and Overcoming Challenges as a Leader

This week, we’re finishing our two-part series on overcoming instead of being overcome! Last week, John C. Maxwell shared the first two R’s that people who give up are usually beat up by (Regret and Resentment) so that you can recognize those things in your leadership and work towards overcoming them. This week, John shares the last two R’s (Resistance and Rejection) and continues to help you know how to keep an eye out for them in your leadership. 

After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow talk about what he taught and how you can apply it to your life and leadership! 

Key takeaways:  

• You reduce resistance by coming up with answers that others have not figured out. 

• Hurting people hurt people. 

• Successful people do what unsuccessful people won’t do. 

Our BONUS resource for this series is the Overcoming Instead of Being Overcome Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Overcome and clicking “Download the Bonus Resource.”
