A few months back, I had the opportunity to personally interview leadership expert and bestselling author John Maxwell. During the interview, he related to me that, even at the age of 71, he continues to learn more about leadership every day while teaching thousands about the topic each month. After publishing 83 books that have sold 26 million copies and presenting over 12,000 speeches on the subject, Maxwell’s leadership journey continues.
I could not agree more with Maxwell’s sentiment. In fact, during my time at Nexstar, I have observed hundreds of companies grow and achieve enormous success. And I have seen many companies — with access to the exact same information and opportunities — struggle. What is different between those that skyrocket and those that struggle? Successful companies have a growing leadership team.
