Wisdom Wednesday: "Working With Complicated People" - Maxwell Leadership Podcast

Hey Leaders,

Every leader works with complicated people. But “complicated” doesn’t mean toxic—it means quirks, blind spots, and insecurities that can quietly derail momentum if left unaddressed.

In this Maxwell Leadership Executive Podcast, Chris Goede and Perry Holley explore practical ways leaders can reframe the challenge and strengthen their teams by:

* Seeing people as individuals, not problems

* Using tools like humanity checks and curiosity mapping

* Communicating with clarity and mirroring preferences

* Setting boundaries to protect focus and energy
