Lead to Give, Not to Get

from Maxwell Leadership Podcast · host John Maxwell

In this Thanksgiving-week episode of the Maxwell Leadership Podcast, John Maxwell reminds us that effective, impactful leadership isn't about what you receive — it's about what you give. He explains how the most effective leaders focus on servant leadership, sowing into others, and making their contribution bigger than their reward.  After John's lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow share how this principle applies in today's organizations—from mentoring employees to overcoming entitlement and inspiring genuine employee motivation through example and gratitude.  You'll learn how to:  Replace entitlement with a mindset of service and contribution. Lead through generosity, not expectation. Turn competition into collaboration by focusing on team growth.  Model selfless leadership that strengthens trust and performance.  Inspire others through consistent gratitude and example. 🎯 Our BONUS RESOURCE for this episode is the Lead to Give, Not to Get Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.
