More quotes by John C. Maxwell
When I made that statement that the person discovers the secret of their success by their daily agenda, all of a sudden it hit me that if I could teach people to make today count if I could really teach them what they need to do today to have a good day, that tomorrow would really take care of itself.
John C. Maxwell

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
Leadership involves the heavy burden of responsibility, and the fear of getting it wrong can paralyze a leader.
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
One person seeking glory doesn't accomplish much. Success is the result of people pulling together to meet common goals.
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
As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me.
John C. Maxwell
We tend to become what the most important person in our life thinks we will become. Think the best, believe the best, and express the best in others. Your affirmation will not only make you more attractive to them, but you will help play an important part in their personal development.
John C. Maxwell
You cannot have growth without change.
John C. Maxwell
The highway of life is filled with flat squirrels that couldn't make a decision.
John C. Maxwell
