Summary
This week on The John Maxwell Leadership Podcast, we're starting a new series called Transformational Leadership! John's lesson throughout this series was recorded several years ago, when John was only about one year into his transformational leadership journey. Through the series, John teaches what transformational leadership is and why it is so impactful.
During the application portion of the episode, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow discuss what it means to have a calling, and they remind us that big movements often start small––with you.
Our BONUS resource for this series is the Transformational Leadership Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Transform and clicking "Download the Bonus Resource."

| 0:00.0 | Hey, welcome back to the John Maxwell Leadership Podcast. I'm so excited to be with you today. |
| 0:12.5 | And I'm going to take just a minute, additional minute, rather, to set up John's lesson today. |
| 0:19.4 | You see, we go back several years to pull out this lesson. Today's lesson on transformational |
| 0:26.9 | leadership, Part 1, is going to be a two-part series going back to a lesson John did several years |
| 0:33.6 | ago as he began filling a compelling pull to transform people, to transform communities, to |
| 0:42.4 | transform the world. You see, just last week on January the 26th, the John released the book, |
| 0:50.0 | Change Your World. In fact, yesterday we finished up a nine-day book tour with different cities, |
| 0:59.1 | two different cities each day talking about the Change Your World book. Now, let me be honest, |
| 1:05.6 | John has not done a book tour in 20 years since the 21 walls of leadership. But why did we do a |
| 1:12.3 | book tour this year? Why did we just yesterday come off of a book tour? It's because Change Your World |
| 1:17.9 | is not really a book release. It is a movement release. It is a desire by John Maxwell and by the |
| 1:27.3 | John Maxwell Enterprise, which includes the John Maxwell podcast, to mobilize people that want to |
| 1:34.1 | change the world, that want to transform the world around them with values. We say it like this, |
| 1:41.3 | values-based people-centric, servant leadership. And so today we wanted to dedicate this podcast to a |
| 1:50.3 | subject that you've heard no doubt about several times over the last few weeks, months. This idea of |
| 1:57.6 | Change Your World, this idea of transformation. But we wanted today to go back to the beginning, |
| 2:04.6 | when John first began to formulate the idea of transformation. Many times to understand today, |
| 2:13.6 | you go back to the source, to the beginning. That's our attempt this week and next week, |
| 2:20.8 | is to take you back to where John first began to formulate the vision that now drives our daily |
| 2:30.1 | activity, this vision of transformation. Today, John's going to kind of set it up, then he's going to |
| 2:37.4 | talk about the first quality of transformational leadership. And then join us back next week, |
| 2:44.2 | because we're going to let John share with you qualities two, three, and four. This is a two-week |
