The Growth Guarantee (Part 2)

August 26, 2026 · 33 min

Show notes

What separates leaders who keep expanding their impact from those who quietly plateau? In this week's episode, John Maxwell continues revealing the promises and pitfalls on the path to continual, intentional growth.

After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson share how to recognize your growth zone and offer strategies you can use to keep advancing in your leadership journey.

Key takeaways:

  • Don't be a know-it-all. Be a learn-it-all.

  • You don't coast to greatness.

  • Everything you want but don't have, and everything you need but don't have, is outside your comfort zone.

Our BONUS resource for this episode is the Growth Guarantee (Part 2) Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Guarantee and clicking "Download the Bonus Resource."
