0:00.0	Welcome to the Maxwell Leadership Podcast. This is the podcast that adds value to leaders
0:22.6	who multiply value to others. My name is Mark Cole and today I am so thrilled about our
0:29.4	episode this week. As a leader yourself you may know how difficult it can be to lead an
0:36.5	unmotivated team and how fulfilling it can be to lead a passionate engaged team. So how does a
0:44.0	leader like you or me motivate the people we lead? Today John Maxwell will teach you about motivation
