Great Leaders Lead Themselves Well, Part 1
About this episode
Andy Stanley and Holly Goddard discuss the importance of self-leadership as the foundation of effective leadership.

In this episode, Andy Stanley and Holly Goddard begin a new series unpacking Andy's new book, What Great Leaders Do: 7 Essentials for Enduring Impact . They explore why self-leadership is the foundation of every other aspect of leadership, why giftedness alone isn't enough to be a leader worth following, and how the greatest challenge every leader faces is the person they see in the mirror each morning.
