In leadership, it’s important to take a step back and ask a few key questions that will help you reflect on where you’ve been and then look forward to what’s next. That’s exactly what we’re talking about in this week’s episode! John C. Maxwell shares key questions that every leader must ask themselves when it comes to their life and leadership in order to assess performance, acknowledge gaps, and stay on track with where they want to go. After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss valuable takeaways that you can apply to your leadership as well.
Key takeaways:
- “There comes a point in your career when the best way to figure out how you’re doing is to step back and ask yourself a few questions. Having all the answers is less important than knowing what to ask.” — Robert S. Kaplan
- It’s impossible to have your priorities correct or your passion intact if you don’t clearly see your dream.
- The better you know yourself and the truer you are to yourself, the greater your success.
