John Maxwell famously said, "Everything rises and falls on leadership."

 

Everything.

 

That's a bold claim.

 

A bold claim that helped fuel an entire leadership development industry.

 

Well, today, Adam Landrum and I take a step back and ask, "Is that true?"

 

Is the whole notion of leadership's importance real or just a sham to make people with titles feel better about themselves?

 

Take a listen and let me know what you think. Are we off base, or are we on to something?
