In part two of this series, John Maxwell continues to teach on characteristics to look for that make up a potential leader. He talks about the importance of two necessary attributes of a high capacity leader: a positive attitude and teachability.

They provide practical advice on how be teachable and convert that into measurable growth in your daily life as a leader.
