Leadership Shorts: John Maxwell

• You will never have all the information to make a decision. If you did it would be a forgone conclusion, not a decision.

• A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion not position.

• Life is not a dress rehearsal!

• Life is about adventure not maintenance.

• The entire population of the world – with one minor exception – is composed of others.

• If you could see yourself in terms of your true potential, you wouldn’t recognize yourself.

• As a leader you should always challenge people to move out of their comfort zone but never out of their strength zone.

• If you want people to be impressed talk about your successes, if you want people to identify with you talk about your failures.

• A procrastinator puts off until tomorrow the things he has already put off until today.

• Your attitude is either your best friend or your worst enemy, your greatest asset or your greatest liability.

• Leadership by definition cannot be a one man show.

• You will acquire the vices & virtues of your closest associates. The fragrance of their lives will pervade your life.

• In the end, people are persuaded not by what we say, but by what they understand.

• Connecting is never about me. It’s about the person with whom I am communicating.
