The Four R's: Regret and Resentment

There are four major obstacles that leaders face, termed as the four R's. The first two, regret and resentment, focus on internal struggles. Regret often leads to self-pity and guilt, hindering personal growth. On the other hand, resentment can drain energy and focus, impacting relationships. Overcoming these internal challenges involves learning from mistakes, letting go, and adding value to oneself.

When difficult times happen in life or in leadership, it can be tempting to want to give up instead of keep going. That’s why on today’s episode of the Maxwell Leadership Podcast, we’re starting a brand new two-part series on overcoming instead of being overcome. In today’s lesson, John C. Maxwell shares four R’s that people who give up are usually beat up by so that you can recognize those things in your leadership and work towards overcoming them!

After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow sit down to discuss what they have learned and give you helpful advice on how you can apply it to your own life and leadership.

Key takeaways:

The most important lessons I’ve ever learned are out of my mistakes in life.
You have to take control of what you can control.
If you add value to those above you, that’ll take care of the resentment problem. If you add value to those below you, that’ll take care of the pride problem.
