Episode notes

When uncertainty hits, people stop and look around for someone who knows where they're going. The question is whether that person is you. ⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠ to Download the free Leadership Workbook and submit your question for our Q&A with John and me. Law #4 of John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is the Law of Navigation, and the principle is simple: anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Leadership isn't just forward motion. It's knowing where you're headed, selling that destination to the people around you, and keeping everyone moving in one direction when the road gets hard... and it always gets hard. John brings one of his most practical frameworks to this episode: the difference between a travel agent and a tour guide. He breaks down how to tell which one you are, and the steps you need to take to become a true leader and get others to the top with you. John also breaks down the three things every navigating leader must do and he gives a step-by-step framework, PLAN AHEAD, that he developed as a young leader in his twenties and has used for over 25 years.
