| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's episode of the John Maxwell Leadership Podcast. I am in New York City |
| 0:16.4 | and I am with John Maxwell. John, so glad to be here with you, so glad while we're here |
| 0:22.5 | and so glad to have you on the podcast today. Welcome. I'm glad to be with you and I'm really |
| 0:27.6 | glad our listeners are with us and we've been here before. This is not our first rodeo in New York City. |
| 0:35.4 | Yeah and so while we're here, John recently released Leadership and I hope all of you on the |
| 0:43.4 | podcast. I mean I'm speaking to the choir today but if you by chance have not bought the book |
| 0:49.3 | and bought the book for someone else, I am talking to you for just a moment because you need to |
| 0:53.7 | go to leadershipdbook.com and pick up this book. It's John's newest book. We are seeing incredible |
| 1:01.9 | results from day one. We've just seen great results. So John, I'm going to ask you two questions in |

| 1:42.6 | before. Nothing's going to slow down. Tomorrow's going to be quicker faster than it's been today. |
| 1:50.1 | In fact, I was getting ready to do a theme fast forward for a company that I was going to speak |
| 1:54.4 | forward. They asked me what is fast forward. Me and you, John, I said, well, fast means faster |
| 1:59.0 | and forward means shorter. And I wrote the book, Leader Shift, because I looked at what leaders have |
| 2:07.0 | to deal with. They have to deal with a lot of change and a lot of speed. And when I started |
| 2:13.0 | off as a leader, if you saw more than other people saw, you had the vision and people followed you |
| 2:18.2 | because you saw a bigger picture. Today, we've got to see it. We've got to do more than just see |
