The John Maxwell Leadership Podcast is one of my weekly go-to’s for personal growth and leadership development. Evidently, I’m not alone. Since its release in July 2018, 7.2 million people have downloaded John’s content. If you are not listening (and why aren’t you?), click HERE and start today.
Today John released his 100th episode. I thought it would be appropriate to commensurate this historic moment by giving you his best quotes from the episode. Also, if you have not purchased his new book The Leader’s Greatest Return: Attracting, Developing, and Multiplying Leaders, click HERE or on the image provided. In my opinion, it is the second-best book he has ever written behind The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You.
The following are 20 Quotes From The John Maxwell Leadership Podcast’s 100th Episode. All quotes are from John.
