Success is not what you leave to but what you leave behind
John C. Maxwell
Leadership is evoking in others the capacity to dream.
John C. Maxwell
The harder you try to forget something, the more you think about it subconsciously.
John C. Maxwell
Exceptionally hard decisions can deplete your energy to the point at which you finally cave in. If you mentally crumble and degenerate into negative thinking, you'll magnify the problem to the point where it can haunt you.
John C. Maxwell
When a leader reaches out in passion, he is usually met with an answering passion.
John C. Maxwell
The bottom line in managing your emotions is that you should put others – not yourself – first in how you handle and process them. Whether you delay or display your emotions should not be for your own gratification. You should ask yourself, What does the team need? Not, What will make me feel better?
John C. Maxwell
We are so blessed, we get hundreds of emails a day that say, “John, I’ve worked this plan for one year and I can really see my growth.” So what I would love is for readers to do that for a year and then email me.
John C. Maxwell
Cats do what cats do, ducks do what ducks do, and eagles do what eagles, do. If you take a duck and ask it to do an eagles' job, shame on you. As a leader, your job is to help your ducks to become better ducks and your eagles better eagles - to put individuals in the right places and help them reach their potential.
John C. Maxwell
Integrity is not so much what we do as much as who we are.
John C. Maxwell
The goal of the pastor is not to get people to show up but to get people to grow up.
John C. Maxwell
You can't avoid fear. No magic potion will take it away. And you can't wait for motivation to get you going. To conquer fear, you have to feel the fear and take action anyway.
John C. Maxwell
It's lonely at the top, so you better know why you are there.
John C. Maxwell
An attitude's growth never stops.
John C. Maxwell

John C. Maxwell
Leadership is the dream made reality.
John C. Maxwell
Personnel determines the potential of the team. Vision determines the direction of the team. Work ethic determines the preparation of the team. Leadership determines the success of the team.
John C. Maxwell
There are a lot of pastors who have a vision and have not yet seen it become a reality.
John C. Maxwell
If your job is not making a difference in this world, by all means, get out there and find something else ... You’ll find a sense of making a difference through your work if you simply look for it.
John C. Maxwell
Always take the high road.
John C. Maxwell
People create success in their lives by focusing on today. It may sound trite, but today is the only time you have. It's too late for yesterday. And you can't depend on tomorrow. That's why today matters. Most of the time we miss that.
John C. Maxwell
