The path to becoming a great leader begins with one simple question: What would a great leader do?

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.
