Summary
As John Maxwell shares in this episode, “The most effective way to grow an organization is to grow the people in it.” But how can you do that in your organization and with your people? John answers that question in today’s lesson by giving 7 different practices of growing people so that you can begin developing those around you.
After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss those practices and provide you with practical ways that you can integrate them into your life and leadership.
Key takeaways:
-
There are no limits to an organization if we put no limits on our people.
-
It’s impossible to grow people in the organization if the growth is always for someone else. It always starts with me.
-
Great leaders listen, learn, then lead.
