Summary
When you're better and bigger on the inside, you will become greater on the outside. That's what this lesson is all about. John Maxwell teaches how the inside influences the outside, and what the life of an inside-out leader looks like.
In the application portion of the episode Mark Cole and Jason Brooks define what John means by "inside" and "outside," what makes inside out leadership so powerful, and how they're applying John's principles in the John Maxwell Enterprise.
