Master John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership - Season 1 Premiere

John Maxwell

Ed Mylett launches his new season with leadership legend John Maxwell to unpack the core ideas from The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. Maxwell redefines leadership as influence rather than a title, explaining why raising your leadership 'lid' determines your ceiling and why personal growth is a daily, not overnight, process. The conversation covers how the Law of Magnetism shapes the people you attract and includes real-world proof that these principles have driven success for top performers including a former Tesla president.
