Summary
Are you taking the road of significance, or are you taking the road of selfishness? In today’s episode of the Maxwell Leadership Podcast, John C. Maxwell shares a lesson about how you can determine which road you are going to take in your leadership!
After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson help you to apply what John has shared to your life and leadership.
Key takeaways:
-
You do not find a person of significance that has a high degree of selfishness in his or her life.
-
People of significance have a total different mindset than people that are selfish.
-
Selfishness causes us to think we’re going to get everything we ever want in life, when in reality, it keeps us from the things we really need in life.
