Leadership Lesson: The Energy Bus
The title is from the best selling leadership book “The Energy Bus” by Jon Gordon.
Jon and his leadership teachings are top of mind today as I have an interview scheduled with him on our Fitness CEO podcast this Saturday that will be released in mid March.
He’s been a big mentor from afar and excited to share his ideas which have impacted my personal leadership.
Specific to today’s headline..
The Energy Bus is 1 of his best sellers that teaches readers how to cultivate positive energy and mindset to overcome life’s challenges.
Why is this important?
When you break it down, leadership is about creating and transferring energy and emotion.
The end result is to inspire your team to take action to help your clients, team and organization win.
In fact, cultivating energy is everything specific to your ability to inspire and execute.
Simple outcome but not easy to attain which is why leadership is important but hard.
