About this episode
Ever wondered what dancing and effective leadership have in common? It's all about rhythm. In this episode, John Maxwell is sharing how you can know when to push your people, when to pull them, and when to be patient with them in the process. After John's lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow talk about what John has shared, as well as give you practical advice for how you can apply it to your personal life and leadership. Key takeaways: When you push people, you make pioneers out of them. It's easy to lose focus on long-term goals when you get caught up in putting out daily fires. Continually build your ability to read what approach your team needs from you as their leader in the moment. Our BONUS resource for this episode is the Leadership Rhythm: When to Push, Pull, or be Patient Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.
