Summary
This week, we have a couple exciting things for you! First off, next week we release the audiobook of the 25th year anniversary edition of John’s most popular book of all time, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership! This book has sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide, and has impacted countless growing leaders over the past 25 years. This audiobook releases on May 31, and the hardback releases on June 13! So, to celebrate this release, we’re beginning a series on one of the most important laws of leadership from the book: The Law of Connection, which states that you must touch a heart before you ask for a hand. This is a law about relationships and adding value to the people you serve.
