Great Leaders Play to Their Strengths, Part 1

Great leaders don’t try to be great at everything. They identify where they add the most value and create space for others to do the same.

In this episode, Andy Stanley and Holly Goddard continue their conversation on Andy’s latest book, What Great Leaders Do, by exploring why playing to your strengths is essential for maximizing your impact. They discuss how narrowing your focus, protecting your most productive time, and letting go of responsibilities others can do better can strengthen both your leadership and your organization.
