Maxwell Leadership Podcast
John Maxwell
The Maxwell Leadership Podcast is a regular examination of what it means to be a transformational leader—someone who daily influences people to think, speak, and act to make a positive difference in their lives and in the lives of others. This podcast will teach you the principles, practices, and process of becoming a transformational leader because leadership isn't an event—it's an uphill journey. Every week we will offer a free tool to help you on this journey, so let leadership authority Dr. John C. Maxwell show you the way.

Listen to the last episode:
Are you ready to turn your greatest setbacks into the fuel for exponential growth? In this week's episode, John Maxwell unpacks how the partnership between success and failure is essential to leadership—and why your perspective on failure determines your path to achievement.
After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede provide real-world strategies you can use right away to embrace failure as a catalyst for learning and growth.
Key takeaways:
-
How you view failure shapes your response to it—and seeing it as part of success unlocks growth, humility, and maturity.
-
Successful leaders don't just make good decisions; they learn to manage both their wins and their losses to maximize impact.
-
The lessons you take from failure are what propel you forward—if you don't lose the lesson, you never truly lose.
