Plato said, “The beginning is the most important part of the work” -- and in today’s episode, John Maxwell is sharing how you can set your people up for success at the start of any project!

After his lesson, Mark Cole sits down to talk about John’s insights and give you practical advice on how you can apply them to your life and leadership.

Key takeaways:

Your job as a leader is to get your people on the right track.

With release comes responsibility.

We compliment the gifts of our people too much and their choices not enough.
