How to Lead in Difficult Times

How would you handle yourself and others in times of crisis? Today’s episode will not only help you answer that but will also help you navigate leading well when difficult times come. A crisis will either put leaders on top or topple them to the bottom, so John C. Maxwell shares a lesson that will pave the way for leadership that leaves a positive impact, even when it’s hard. 

After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss various ways that these practices can be applied to your life and leadership.

Key takeaways:

- A bad situation needs good leadership.

- Your decisions in life make you. A crisis reveals you.

- People will follow what you do, not what you say.
