How do you know if you're truly adding value to those around you, or just going through the motions? In this week's episode, John Maxwell reveals the five essential questions every leader should ask to elevate their influence and impact.

After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede dive into their strategies for weaving these value-adding principles into your everyday leadership.

Key takeaways:

Before you can add value to others, you must recognize and develop the unique value you bring to the table.

Valuing what you do—and the people you serve—is the foundation for authentic influence and sustained growth.

Leaders multiply their impact by continuously growing themselves and intentionally focusing on what is best for others, not just them.
