As John C. Maxwell says, “One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination.” Today, John is sharing 10 different Platitudes and Attitudes that he has learned throughout his leadership that you can apply to your own life, family, business, and leadership as well!

After his lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow discuss what John taught and give you practical ways to implement it into your leadership.

Key takeaways:

- Preparation is the backbone of quick decisions.

- Leaders always view, make decisions, and lead based upon not only what is, but what has been and what will be.

- The more you complain, the less you’ll obtain.

In leadership, it’s important to take a step back and ask a few key questions that will help you reflect on where you’ve been and then look forward to what’s next. That’s exactly what we’re talking about in this week’s episode! John C. Maxwell shares key questions that every leader must ask themselves when it comes to their life and leadership in order to assess performance, acknowledge gaps, and stay on track with where they want to go. After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss valuable takeaways that you can apply to your leadership as well.

Key takeaways:

- “There comes a point in your career when the best way to figure out how you’re doing is to step back and ask yourself a few questions. Having all the answers is less important than knowing what to ask.” — Robert S. Kaplan

- The better you know yourself and the truer you are to yourself, the greater your success.
