A Better Way to Lead with Joel Manby Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

Sometimes, we as leaders don't see all of the bottom line. Despite what many corporate cultures teach, there's more to the bottom line than just the financials; there's also the often-neglected people side of business, and that neglect shows. That neglect is also what veteran CEO Joel Manby discovered when he first stepped into leadership as a young man.

So what did Joel learn about changing cultures, and how can you and I benefit from his journey as a leader?

That's the focus of today's podcast—not only are we excited to share with you Joel's philsosphy, which he made the basis of his best-selling book, Love Works: Seven Timeless Principles for Effective Leaders, we're excited to introduce you to Joel through the eyes of John Maxwell and Mark Cole.

Three incredible leaders on one insightful—and essential—podcast!

Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn by John C. Maxwell

Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn Jun 23, 2021

Show notes

Failure is perhaps the biggest fear standing between most people and their dreams. The author Robert Schuller used to ask, "What would you attempt to do if you knew you wouldn't fail?" In this episode, John Maxwell asks, "What have you learned from your failure?" If you want to achieve big things, failure is inevitable. But it's what we learn (and whether we learn) from our failure that can determine our success.

Today, you'll hear John Maxwell summarize three major chapters from his book Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn to help you gain a better perspective on failure and take your next step to success.

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