7 Great Lessons On Leadership and Business

John Maxwell on Leaders

My wife and I are raving fans of Dave Ramsey, Chris LoCurto, and their team.   As a teaching organization, they communicate their lessons about financial peace, leadership, and business development with clarity, passion and energy.   After listening to one of their Entreleadership lessons, I always feel I have a few ideas that I can use in my family and team today.

So, why should you care about Entreleadership?  I believe that leadership and education are highly correlated crafts.   John Maxwell in his book “Developing the Leader in You” has a great quote:  “The growth and development of people is the highest calling of a leader.”   A great deal of the book talks about creating great teams.  It would appear that educators and business leaders must both have the “heart of a teacher.”

Here are my seven favorite Entreleadership podcasts.    They have been life changing for me.  I hope they kickstart your leadership and teaching for 2016.
