It's the seventh episode of the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River, and CEO Charlie Malouf is joined again by Will Luke, Senior Director of Project Management, to dive into John C. Maxwell's session at the Summit. They reflect on Maxwell's legacy in leadership, his lifelong dedication to developing others, and the personal stories and frameworks that have shaped his teachings. John was presented with the Lifetime Leadership Legacy Award by Craig Groeschel at the Global Leadership Summit, and Craig referred to John Maxwell as the single greatest teacher and model of servant leadership in our lifetime. After their conversation, John taught on legacy and leadership. The conversation highlights Maxwell's influence not only on the world stage—including his founding of the nonprofit EQUIP to do transformative work with countries and then the nonprofit iLead to do transformational work with schools globally—but also within the Broad River Retail community, where his principles have become part of the company culture. Charlie and Will unpack Maxwell's three-part framework for leaving a legacy: - the Compass (having a destiny to fulfill) - the Clock (making meaningful contributions in the present) - and Companions (developing others to carry the impact forward). They share takeaways about the importance of intentionality in legacy-building, the wisdom of thinking long term, and how true significance comes from what you leave in people rather than just what you leave for them. Personal anecdotes about their own families and the practice of distilling their lives into a single meaningful sentence reinforce the episode's inspiring, relatable message: every Memory Maker has the chance to make a lasting difference by investing in others and living authentically.

Liz shares how she transitioned from traditional schooling to homeschooling her four children on a farm-turned-orchard, emphasizing intentional parenting, rejecting rigid education models, and aligning business growth with family harmony.

In this episode, I reflect on the changing face of leadership. For generations, leaders operated in a command-and-control style—authoritarian, hierarchical, and often ruthless.

Maxwell, and The Leadership Challenge, to explore:Why authoritarian leadership is breaking downHow compassion and psychological safety drive innovation and loyaltyThe difference between creating followers and multiplying leadersWhy love may be the most powerful and lasting secret of effective leadershipLeadership is evolving—and this conversation is an invitation to rethink how we lead, how we inspire, and how we leave a legacy.✨ Connect with me to learn more about The Compassionate Leaders Pathway, starting this September.--- Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems.

Authentic Leadership and People-First Culture with Chris Robinson of Maxwell LeadershipIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Chris Robinson, Executive Vice President of the Maxwell Leadership Institute and founder of chrisrobinsonspeaker.com. Chris shares a transformative approach to leadership rooted in authenticity, empathy, and personal connection. This episode explores how leaders can foster a culture that retains talent, inspires teams, and builds lasting impact by putting people first.Leadership That Connects: How to Build Culture Through Trust and CareChris Robinson believes that effective leadership comes down to three critical questions every team member asks: Can I trust you? Can you help me? Do you care for me? When leaders can genuinely answer “yes” to all three, they foster deeper relationships and stronger organizational cultures. Building trust starts with transparency and consistency, while being helpful means actively supporting team growth with resources, guidance, and encouragement. Most importantly, caring for your team goes beyond metrics—it requires recognizing their aspirations, listening to their concerns, and showing genuine appreciation.The cost of poor leadership, Chris warns, is high—and turnover is just the beginning. Financial losses, low morale, and declining productivity often stem from leaders who fail to connect or invest in their people. He recommends using a “retention calculator” to understand the true cost of losing a team member and encourages proactive practices like stay interviews and real-time feedback to keep teams engaged. Leaders who create a safe, responsive environment ultimately retain top talent and reduce disruption.To build a sustainable, people-first leadership culture, Chris uses tools like the “My Favorite Things” survey—gathering personal insights about team members' interests, motivators, and milestones. Recognizing employees in small but meaningful ways—like remembering birthdays or rewarding them with their favorite treat—creates a culture of appreciation. Consistency is key: leaders must model the behavior they expect, train mid-level managers to do the same, and build common language and values across the organization using proven frameworks like those from John Maxwell.About Chris RobinsonChris Robinson is the Executive Vice President of the Maxwell Leadership Institute, an international speaker, coach, and entrepreneur.

Chris Robinson, Executive Vice President of Maxwell Leadership, shares his powerful framework for breaking out of business complacency in his new book "From Drift to Drive." He reveals how successful entrepreneurs often drift into "careless security" where they stop doing the things that made them successful in the first place. Chris outlines his seven-step process to help business owners regain clarity, build community, and take intentional action toward their goals. Key Takeaways Complacency isn't laziness - it's "careless security" where you become comfortable and stop sharpening the skills that got you where you are Start with clarity - consistently ask yourself "What do I want?" because your goals should evolve as you grow Align your daily actions with your annual goals - check if your weekly to-do list matches what you said you wanted at the beginning of the year Community beats competition - surrounding yourself with like-minded people opens more doors than trying to protect your "secrets" About Chris Robinson Chris Robinson is the Executive Vice President of Maxwell Leadership and author of From Drift to Drive.

There's communities you can plug into. There's guides you can plug into.
