As most of you know, tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the U.S. In fact, if you’re listening to this episode on the day it releases, today is one of the biggest travel days of the year. That’s because many people are traveling to gather with friends and family to spend time celebrating the things they’re grateful for. Well, this holiday got our podcast team thinking about what it takes to gather great people around you. And we’ve come up with a great lesson from John on 9 tips for attracting top players to your team. After John’s lesson, Mark Cole will be joined by Traci Morrow to talk about what practices they put in place to attract great people onto their teams and how to apply the principles in this lesson to your own leadership. Our BONUS resource for this episode is the “How to Gather Great People Around You Worksheet,” which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching.
