John Maxwell has written more than 90 books, sold 38 million copies, and spoken on over 14,000 stages. After 50 years teaching leadership, he says the hardest lesson is still learning to confront yourself before you confront anyone else.
The New York Times bestselling author of "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" breaks down the mistakes he made as a young leader, starting with the hard conversations he avoided for years and the rule he now sets on day one so nobody is ever blindsided by one. He shares the answer that stopped him 30 years ago, from a business owner who said he wouldn't take back a single failure, and why it took him three decades to feel ready to write the book on it. He also opens up an idea he's writing right now, one he's only been working on for three months, and how he uses AI without handing over his own judgment.
Watch to learn how to confront a problem without losing trust, why caring for your team matters more than being liked, and what to do with a failure so you actually get something back from it.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

What you wear does more than change how other people see you. It can change how you think, perform, and see yourself. In this bonus solo episode of Keep It Brief, Natalie Dawson shares five pieces from her wardrobe and the lessons each taught her about identity, confidence, credibility, and growth. She explains why a blazer became a daily cue to lead, why she stopped dressing for different versions of herself, why holding on to old clothes can keep you attached to an old identity, and how one outfit taught her the difference between looking good and communicating authority. This episode continues the conversation from Rebecca Minkoff’s appearance on Keep It Brief by turning the lens inward. Your wardrobe is already sending a message.
