Nothing Excites Leaders More Than This
Several years ago while working for the John Maxwell Organization, I was having a conversation with a co-worker about John’s non-profit group EQUIP.

My friend said, “Brian, nothing excites leaders more than training and investing in other leaders.”
It is important to understand leaders are on a common journey. They often face similar issues. They are stretched by other leaders and challenged in a positive way. Investing in leaders multiplies one’s influence. There is no better use of a leader’s time than investing in other leaders.
