In this series John talks about what he calls the leader’s greatest gift––passionate commitment.

He discusses the individual importance of passion and commitment, then describes the potential for transformation when these two leadership characteristics are combined.

In the application portion of the series Mark Cole and Traci Morrow discuss maintaining passion during tough times, what happens when you allow your passion to rest on someone else’s commitment, and how the two characteristics depend on each other in leadership.
