Summary
Great leadership rests on a great irony––to lead you must serve. To be first, you must be last. This week, we have a necessary, yet uncomfortable leadership conversation with our good friend, Andy Stanley, about his new book, Not In It to Win It.
This conversation is unique because it’s the first of its kind on the Maxwell Leadership Podcast. That’s because this episode is geared toward leaders, specifically church leaders, who have found themselves poorly navigating the current, often volatile, politically charged leadership landscape we exist in today.
As you’ll learn, many church leaders have allowed political divisiveness to take president over values-based, people-centric, servant leadership––the kind of leadership that builds bridges, not walls.
Whether you’re a leader in the church or not, we invite you into this conversation to learn about the importance of values-based leadership in all areas of the leadership landscape. If you’re a church leader, we hope you take this to heart as we learn from one of the greatest leadership teachers in history––Jesus of Nazareth. If you’re not a church leader, or even a person of faith, we invite you to consider this a case study about what happens when leaders put personal agendas before people.
So, what can you expect out of this conversation? You can expect to walk away with a better understanding of how to serve those you lead, because everyone deserves to be led well.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, welcome back to the Maximal Leadership Podcast. This is the podcast that is designed |
| 0:21.6 | to add value to leaders who multiply value to others. My name is Mark Cole. I'm the CEO |
| 0:27.1 | of Maximal Leadership and today I'm doubly excited. I'm excited because here with me today, |
| 0:34.1 | live in person is John Maximal and I'm glad because John, as usual, has brought a dear friend. Now, |
| 0:42.2 | this dear friend is not any one unique to both the podcast land, the leadership conversation, |
| 0:50.0 | and certainly not even to the Maximal Leadership Podcast because Andy Stanley, our good friend, |
| 0:55.0 | is back with us today. Now, John, you say that if someone is good, they don't need a long |
| 1:02.2 | introduction. And so we've got one of those people in studio with us today. Andy Stanley is certainly |
| 1:08.3 | a leader that needs no introduction. But for those of you that don't know, Andy is the founder and |
| 1:13.8 | pastor of North Point Ministries. He's an author, he's a speaker, and he's a leader. And so just like |
| 1:20.4 | everyone that we bring on this podcast, he's passionate about adding value to you, our podcast |
| 1:26.4 | family. Andy recently wrote a book that I'll tell you, I don't think it could be better timed. I |
| 1:32.2 | don't think it could be better positioned for a conversation that is happening in the leadership |
| 1:38.4 | space. This book is called Not In It To Win It. Now, for those of you, our community that visually |
| 1:44.8 | joins our podcast, I'm holding it up and I'm going to tell you whether you're a person of faith |
| 1:50.2 | which this is really designed for those of us that have a strong foundation of faith, or whether |
| 1:55.4 | you're somebody that really wants to bridge a gap, a divide within you and your team or you |
| 2:01.9 | and a political persuasion, or maybe you and the faith community. This book will absolutely change |
| 2:09.2 | your perspective and change the way that you want to engage. John, I'm going to let you before we |
| 2:14.2 | hear from Andy. I'm just going to let you talk a little bit about your friend and talk a little bit |
| 2:18.2 | about this book. But John, one final thing I want to say is when you and I were sitting on a plane |
| 2:24.3 | and we began to read this book together, we said to ourselves, you said it to me actually, you |
