You might look at a leader or an organization and wonder, "What's their secret?" They've accomplished so much and show no signs of slowing down. Leaders and organizations like this seem to have some kind of secret sauce; they have “it.” So what is it? And what sets apart leaders who have it? In episode 114 of the Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast, Craig talks about what sets apart the leaders who have “it” from those who don't. Building and maintaining momentum can be extremely difficult. That’s why Craig wrote his book "Lead Like It Matters: 7 Leadership Principles for a Church That Lasts." This book will help you ignite a life-giving, soul-transforming, people-inspiring movement in your organization, church, or ministry.

In the most recent episode of the Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast, best-selling author Jon Gordon dives into the science of optimism and positivity in leadership.

Energy management is a vital component of a productive work life, and it's both a science and an art. Most people tend to understand the science: if you get adequate sleep, exercise, and eat a healthy diet, chances are you’re going to create more energy. But what about the art of energy management? Understanding what activities and situations energize you versus those that drain you is just as important. In this episode of the Craig Groeschel Leadership Podcast, Craig dives into the topic of energy management and how to optimize your performance by auditing your energy and creating an energy budget. By taking a closer look at what gives you energy and what drains it, you can make better decisions about how to allocate your time and resources to get the most out of your workday.
