Every leader is either a lifter or a limiter of people. If you limit people, you limit not only them but yourself. But if you lift them up, then there is no telling how far they- or you - can go.

In this episode, fellow school leader and Maxwell Certified Coach Ted Duncan and I discuss two critical Laws of Leadership from John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. The Law of Empowerment and The Law of the Picture.
