Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a leader that people love to follow? This episode is for you! John C. Maxwell shares a lesson that will help you develop a culture where people feel valued, inspired, and empowered. 

After his lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow sit down to discuss what John has shared and help you to apply what you've learned to your life and leadership. 

Key takeaways:
