Summary
Hey Podcast listeners! As you know, we're setting aside a few episodes over the next few weeks to highlight some of the incredible speakers who will join us for Live2Lead 2020. Today, we're excited to share a talk from Alan Mulally, former CEO of Boeing and the Ford Motor Company. Alan's leadership helped Ford beat bankruptcy and become the only Big Three car company that didn't take a federal bailout in the early 2000s.
We've pulled this talk from 2015 when Alan joined us for our event Exchange to share his journey with Ford and the leadership lessons he learned along the way. Be sure to get your ticket and hear Alan Mulally live on October 9th for Live2Lead 2020 at JohnMaxwell.com/Virtual.
Our BONUS resource for this episode is the Driving Ford Through Crisis Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from Alan's talk. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Ford and clicking "Download the Bonus Resource."
