How to Close the Thinking Gap

from Maxwell Leadership Podcast · host John Maxwell

If the greatest gap between successful and unsuccessful people is the thinking gap, how can you close it? In this episode, John Maxwell is sharing the key to shrinking the distance between where you are and where you want to be!  After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede sit down to talk about what John has shared and offer you practical application for your own life and leadership.  Key takeaways:  The most effective leaders give themselves permission to think about what's possible, not just what's probable.  If I think that there is an answer, I'll become a victor. If I think that there's no answer, I'll become a victim.  When facing a problem, think beyond just resolving the issue at hand. Discover solutions to eliminate the root cause and equip others to handle it in the future.  Our BONUS resource for this episode is the How to Close the Thinking Gap Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.
