Most pastors have a hard time grasping a vision. But vision is the indispensable quality of a leader.
John C. Maxwell
Image
The secret to success can be found in people's daily agendas. If they do something intentional to grow every day, they move closer to reaching their potential. If they don't, their potential slowly slips away over the course of their lifetime.
John C. Maxwell
Image
All good leaders are connectors. They relate well and make people feel confident about themselves and their leader.
John C. Maxwell
Image
Leaders never outgrow the need to change.
John C. Maxwell
Image
When your great players are team players, everybody else follows their lead. The best team doesn't always win - it's usually the team that gets along best.
John C. Maxwell

In my leadership conferences, pastors ask, Do you have a vision for my church? Many times they want me to give them a picture of where they should go and what their church should look like. When these pastors do this, I always feel bad.
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
Image
Most people who want to get ahead do it backward. They think, 'I'll get a bigger job, then I'll learn how to be a leader.' But showing leadership skill is how you get the bigger job in the first place. Leadership isn't a position, it's a process.

Be intentional to add value to every person you meet everyday.
John C. Maxwell
Image
We overestimate the event and underestimate the process. Every fulfilled dream occurred because of dedication to the process.
John C. Maxwell

People of influence understand the incredible value of becoming a good listener.
John C. Maxwell
Image
Dont ever be impressed with goal setting be impressed with goal getting. Reaching new goals and moving to a higher level of performance always requires change, and change feels awkward. But take comfort in the knowledge that if a change doesn't feel uncomfortable, then it's propably not really a change.

You can't be a smart cookie if you have a crummy attitude.
John C. Maxwell
Image
A leader who develops people adds a leader who develops leaders multiplies.
John C. Maxwell
Image
Nothing of significance was ever achieved by an individual acting alone. Look below the surface and you will find that all seemingly solo acts are really team efforts.
John C. Maxwell
Image
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
John C. Maxwell
Image
If you don’t try to create the future you want, you must endure the future you get.
John C. Maxwell
Image
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
Image
Most people don't like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For that reason, when good leaders prepare to take action or make changes, they take people through a process to get them ready for it.
John C. Maxwell
Image
Others are Ahead of me. I am continually Challenged. My focus is Forward. The atmosphere is Affirming. I am often out of my Comfort Zone. I wake up Excited. Failure is not my Enemy. Others are Growing. People desire Change. Growth is Modeled and Expected.
