As John Maxwell says in today's lesson, "The more we grow, the more we know we need to grow." As we develop ourselves, our awareness of the areas in which we need to improve expands. So, in today's episode, John teaches something that author Ken Blanchard calls "the four development levels that move people from dependence to independence."

In other words, these are the stages through which we become less dependent on what got us here and more focused on what will take us there. After John's lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss their own journeys from dependence to independence and how they are applying these principles at Maxwell Leadership.

Our BONUS resource for this episode is the "Dependence to Independence Worksheet," which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Independent and clicking "Download the Bonus Resource."
