SHOW NOTES

You don’t want to be a Managing leader. You want to be a Visionary leader. You want reach a higher level that has never been reached. You want to inspire. You want to grow. “Managers are often able to maintain a team at its current level, leaders are able to lift it to a higher level than it has ever reached before.” -John Maxwell

In the main episode, Ryan will show you how to cast a clear and practical vision that excites and rallies your team. For Our Need to Know Ryan answers “How do I know if I’m a Managing Leader or a Visionary Leader?” In the new segment Leadership Leap, Ryan summarizes Leadershift by John Maxwell

Project Based Learning is an instruction model that allows you to inspire and support your team. Traditional teaching can silo your staff and cause them to become reliant on you to make decisions. PBL will help you staff be empowered to fulfill your vision. Let’s help you launch that vision!
