More quotes by John C. Maxwell
I think passion gives you the energy to do what is right, and discipline makes sure you do what is right. So I look at them as kind of cousins maybe.
John C. Maxwell
Three reasons problems are inevitable first, we live in a world of growing complexity and diversity second, we interact with people and third, we cannot control all the situation we face.
John C. Maxwell
We were created for meaningful work, and one of life's greatest pleasures is the satisfaction of a job well done.
John C. Maxwell
Talented performers flock to the best and brightest leaders, and these leaders in turn lift the lids off their people and uncork the latent talent inside of them.
John C. Maxwell
We often wait for the resources before we make a move.
John C. Maxwell
To gain credibility, you must consistently demonstrate three things: Initiative: You have to get up to go up. Sacrifice: You have to give up to go up. Maturity: You have to grow up to go up. If you show the way, people will want to follow you. The higher you go, the greater the number of people who will be willing to travel with you.
John C. Maxwell
There are two paths people can take. They can either play now and pay later, or pay now and play later. Regardless of the choice, one thing is certain. Life will demand a payment.
John C. Maxwell
Little did I realize that my desire to add value to others would be the thing that added value to me!
John C. Maxwell
Leaders who fail to prune their pride will meet demise. That's not a guess, it's a guarantee. With pride, it's not a matter of 'if' we will fall, but 'when.' There are no exceptions.
John C. Maxwell
Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent.
John C. Maxwell
God has put a dream inside you. It's yours, and no one else's. It declares your uniqueness. It holds your potential. Only you can birth it. Only you can live it. Not to discover it, take responsibility for it, and act upon it is to negatively affect yourself as well as all those who would benefit from your dream.
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
Negative thinking blows everything out of proportion.
John C. Maxwell
The only guarantee for failure is to stop trying
John C. Maxwell
Attitudes are nothing more than habits of thought.
John C. Maxwell
Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. How do you gain influence from people? You invest in them. How do you invest in them? It starts with giving them time.
John C. Maxwell
The leader is there for the people, not the people for the leader
John C. Maxwell
Facing difficulties is inevitable. Learning from them is optional.
John C. Maxwell
Good leaders must communicate vision clearly, creatively, and continually. However, the vision doesn't come alive until the leader models it.
John C. Maxwell
Become a coach, not a king. A coach brings out the best in others, helping them to reach deep down inside and discover their potential. A king only gives commands.
John C. Maxwell
