Leading on the high road will always cost more than you think — but it will always be worth it. In this week's episode, John Maxwell prepares you for the price of leading with integrity and conviction!

After his lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow share practical takeaways from John's insights so you can apply them in your life and leadership.

Key takeaways:

— Expect that the first time you pay the price will be the hardest.

— Your account is never fully paid. High road leadership requires ongoing sacrifice.

— The high road may cost you ground, power, money or celebrity. But you'll gain immeasurable growth, strength, true wealth and credibility in return.
