"You potential to lead others is the direct result of how you lead yourself." So leading yourself is directly proportional to the way you lead others. This is so deep and true. Amazing leadership content. Thanks alot♥️💯

[@fwole6527]

When you see yourself as a leader, you stand taller, you think higher and care deeper.

[@bronwenturner6743]

Identity is the one thing I'm FINALLY growing in. Thank you for this video. Hit home. 🙏😊 I'm going to stand taller think higher and definitely care deeper. Gonna own it!

[@JohnRicci]

This is so good! Surprisingly, I am moved to "increase the frequency of communication to my wife" after listening to this. After all, leading our family is key before we can lead any organisation. God bless you Ps Craig!

[@andersonmohammed6850]

"I initiate and don't respond" .. love this....

[@andrearobertcolston5569]

Gentle assertiveness is what I need to grow in, emphasis is Assertiveness

[@NimbleSteward]

This to me seemed focussed on leading others way more than myself. Was hoping for self-leading info because of the title.

[@ReubenJoseLoveJC]

Thank you so much, Pr. Craig.. this came in at exactly the time of need.. thank you so much.

[@lcfilms7188]

This is GOLD! Precise, Direct and excellent! Thank you for communicating this in a way that’s practical to apply! Don’t start with the DO start with the WHO 🔥

[@elchristianpodcast]

Yes, the highest virtue in the Bible is Self-control. Incredible. True Freedom.

[@marcelor1235]

Nailed in the first 01:30, now that's what i call quality.

[@JeffBitler]

Wow! There's so much to take away here. I think my biggest challenge right now is how to be a good leader when I'm not in a position of leadership. I am the uttermost lowest man on the totem pole. I'd love to know how I could be effective anyway. Thanks PC!

[@niagay711]

Thank you so much for being a mentor from afar! God lead me to your ministry. What a glorious God we serve! May God continue to bless you and your lineage.

[@greenthumb1523]

I can relate to the "not feeling like the role your filling the shoes of". No such thing as type of leadership. A leader is who you are. I can relate to that. It's integrity. Period. Nobody will listen to a gossiper or someone who says something and then does something else. 🤷 integrity is the key to people trusting you, thus following you.

[@My1PassionLifeStyle]

Thanks Craig - short and sweet. Great points, very doable and measurable. Appreciate the encouragement and simple process!

[@epicgaming4946]

Had no idea Craig is a real estate investor and has been since college!?!?!??? That's amazing, you should go on the bigger pockets podcast!

[@carmenfrancis6726]

[@greenthumb1523]

Thank you for your guidance!

[@kathyparadise9218]

I love all of your leadership podcasts. I am learning so much about myself as a business owner, caregiver to my husband and how I reflect my faith. It’s not a beautiful picture but listening gives me hope.

[@CoachHadachek]

This is absolute GOLD Craig! As a leader I know I must get better! Thank you.

[@waderobson8464]

Thanks for the reminder Craig! that's helpful

[@youngdpslupopo4454]

[@peterrobb3025]

Thanks PC . I know the benefits for some reason I slide back down . It’s like fighting my son to read for 30 minutes a day . Both of us know it’s a good thing but we never do it .

[@nombongondlovu1423]

So good!!❤ Just what I needed to hear!!

[@gaildifford4313]

Thank you so much

[@MountainofInspiration]

Totally agree with you. A leader has to be able to celebrate and empower others before they can be recognized as a such

[@joyren7244]

Thank you!

Oh I know I'm a leader

[@isthagani5073]

How can we know which part in our leadership skill that we need to grow? Is there any objective tool to measure this issue?

[@jamilacharles5485]

You prayers for me

@@craiggroeschel Thank you so much! I am about to lead a MiddleSchool Girls group with our church, (at age 61). I want to lead each student to become effective leaders. Your POD casts are a great tool!

[@colleenelainemoodley7380]

@@beckyrussell831 That's wonderful Becky. I absolutely love what you are doing. The Bible speaks about older women teaching (leading) younger women. May our Heavenly Father bless you with all that you need in this season... He's already placed it within you. May you be blessed even as you invest in the next generation. 💐🙏

Obverse how a leader lead himself, can tell you how he lead others. eating from the desk and not with others, emails before people, etc….

[@tdirden6538]

What are your thoughts on the old saying: "You have to learn how to follow before you can lead."?
