Summary
Are you suffering from a case of destination disease? Symptoms include a quiet complacency, a decreased drive, a sense of “having arrived.” In today’s episode, John Maxwell is sharing 4 keys to defeat destination disease and recover your desire for constant improvement.
After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson unpack John's insights to help you apply them directly to your life and leadership.
Key takeaways:
-
The danger of getting good is that “good” is good enough to meet all of our needs.
-
The brutal fact about success is this: it makes you complacent.
-
Use your success as a steppingstone, not a pedestal.
