This narration explores John C. Maxwell’s vision of high-road leadership: influence that uplifts rather than control that diminishes. It begins at the central choice every leader faces—taking the low road of self-interest, the middle road of transactional relationships, or the high road where strong skills are guided by strong values.
Across the chapters, the focus turns into everyday practices: replacing suspicion with a bias toward collaboration, speaking in ways that strengthen people, adapting leadership style to what the moment and the team truly need, building authenticity through self-awareness, and developing emotional resilience. The journey closes with a simple reminder: the best leadership legacy is the life-giving impact left in others.
