Summary
Momentum has the power to be your greatest asset, but not having momentum has the power to be your biggest enemy. So, what makes and breaks momentum in leadership? This week, we're beginning a brand-new two-part series where John C. Maxwell shares the differences between Momentum Breakers and Momentum Makers!
After John's lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede sit down to discuss these differences and give you practical advice on how to become a Momentum Maker in your life and leadership.
Key takeaways:
-
Momentum is a leader's best friend.
-
Are you living in yesterday or are you living in tomorrow?
-
If you want to break momentum, do it on your own. But if you want to make momentum, do it with others.
