Welcome to the Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast, a conversation designed to help leaders

go further faster.

On today's podcast, we'll explore how your leadership can last beyond your lifetime.

Andy, today's podcast is inspired by a talk you gave at LeaderCast.

The theme of the event was Beyond You, and I know that idea really resonated with you.

Yeah, so what happens is every year when LeaderCast comes up with a theme, they send me

the theme and ask me to create a talk around the theme.

And they always come up with great themes.

And of course, it's a challenge for me as a leader because I am asked to create a talk

and some points and some new ideas around their themes.

So this year, as you said, the theme was Beyond You Leadership.

And I really love the idea of thinking through what it means to become a Beyond You

Leader and to create a Beyond You Leadership culture in an organization.

Beyond You Leader being a leader that thinks outside of themselves and thinks outside even

their current generation of impact.

So it's something I think great leaders are always thinking about what's my legacy.

So that's what we talked about.

In your talk, you define Beyond You Leader as a leader who fearlessly and selflessly empowers

leaders around them as well as those coming along behind them.

What did you mean by fearlessly and selflessly?

When you hear the word fearless within the context of leadership, we think new challenges,

risk-taking, do something no one's ever done before.
