Living Out Leadership
Over two decades ago, John Maxwell
began speaking and writing books on how to
live out leadership and eventually launched
a company to spread his knowledge and
influence on effective leadership principles.
Now, John Maxwell has over 70 books in
print and has touched companies around the
world with his leadership building skills. All
of this success was achieved by living out his
own leadership principles in his business.
“Our custom programs inspire and
challenge people to do more than just learn.
We equip people and teams to live out
leadership,” says Mark. “The John Maxwell
Company uses the exact same principles
in-house – we strive everyday to influence
others and live out leadership.”
Gwinnett’s Influence
One of John Maxwell’s primary teachings
is that leadership is influence enabling one
person - spreading to many - to add value, a
vision, and a difference to the lives of others.
