​Candid Conversations: Trained Leader to Transformational Leader

Last week we announced the addition of new occasional bonus episodes called Candid Conversations to The John Maxwell Leadership Podcast. We’ve already heard great feedback from our podcast community about the first installment. If you missed it, you can listen to it here.

This week we have another Candid Conversation for you between John Maxwell and Mark Cole. In this conversations John and Mark sit in front of a live-stream social media audience to discuss one of the shifts in John’s newest book, Leadershift. This shift is the “Impact Shift,” which involves shifting from being a trained leader to a transformational leader (a leader who makes a positive impact on the lives of those they influence).

This conversation is all about moving, as John says, “from the head to the heart.” Listen now to learn how to be a leader who doesn’t just manage people, but who changes lives.
