Episode Description from the Publisher

You've been there: Pressure is high. Priorities are competing. Everything feels urgent. How do you stay focused when you're being pulled in a million different directions? In this week's episode, John Maxwell reveals the mindset and habits that empower leaders to bring stability and hope to the seasons that matter most. After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede provide practical strategies you can use right now to lead your team through challenging times with clarity and confidence. Key takeaways:  Traction comes from focusing on what you can control and letting go of what you cannot. Write it down, put it before you, and act on it every day.  Difficult times don't develop leaders—they reveal them. Who you are when pressure mounts determines your influence and your team's trust.<span class="EOP Selected SCXW52152836 BCX0" data-ccp-props= "{"134245417":true,"134245418":false,"134245529":false,"201341983":0,"335551550":1,"335551620":1,"335557856":
