Welcome to the John Maxwell Leadership Podcast. I'm Richard Chansey, one of your hosts.

We've been doing something a little different this week to celebrate the release of John

Maxwell's new book, Leadership. This week we've been releasing a series of interviews

that John conducted for the podcast with a diverse group of leaders and influencers

to talk about the necessary shifts that every leader must make. If you missed either of

those interviews with Trent Shelton at Rachel Hollis, you definitely want to go back and

listen to them. You can find them at maxwellpodcast.com-forthslash-leadership. Today we're excited

to have Ed Bastion on the show to finish up the series. And for those of you that don't

know, Ed is the CEO of Delta Airlines. He and John sat down to talk about the importance

of valuing people within your organization and why making shifts in your leadership is

vital to keep climbing. To get the notes for this episode, go to maxwellpodcast.com-forthslash-leadership
