Things That Don't Require Talent (Part 1)

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Today Mark Cole and Chris Goede begin a new two-part series in which John Maxwell teaches five things that don’t require talent. These are characteristics every growing leader must embrace to get out of what we at Maxwell Leadership call “the people pile.” If you learn these five things, you’ll take your leadership to the next level. Today we’ll talk about points one and two. And next week, we’ll cover three through five. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Key Takeaways:</span></p> <p><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';">      </span></span></span> <!--[endif]--><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Nothing is interesting if you’re not interested</span></p> <p><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';">      </span></span></span> <!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Look for and plan your teachable moments</span></p> <p><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';">      </span></span></span> <!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Lack of responsibility = lack of initiative </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Our BONUS resource for this episode is the “Things That Don’t Require Talent Worksheet,” which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching.
