Things That Don't Require Talent (Part 1)

Today Mark Cole and Chris Goede begin a new two-part series in which John Maxwell teaches five things that don’t require talent. These are characteristics every growing leader must embrace to get out of what we at Maxwell Leadership call “the people pile.” If you learn these five things, you’ll take your leadership to the next level. Today we’ll talk about points one and two. And next week, we’ll cover three through five.  Key Takeaways: -       Nothing is interesting if you’re not interested -       Look for and plan your teachable moments -       Lack of responsibility = lack of initiative  Our BONUS resource for this episode is the “Things That Don’t Require Talent Worksheet,” which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching.
