More quotes by 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
Leadership is influence.
John C. Maxwell
You cannot enjoy others until you enjoy yourself because you cannot give to others what you do not have.
John C. Maxwell
To move forward today, you must learn to say good-bye to yesterday's hurts, tragedies and baggage. You can't build a monument to past problems and fail forward.
John C. Maxwell
You build trust with others each time you choose integrity over image, truth over convenience, or honor over personal gain.
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
The company owner doesn't need to win. The best idea does.
John C. Maxwell
Stay focused instead of getting offended or off track by others.
John C. Maxwell
We cannot accomplish as much as we think we can in one day and we can accomplish more than we think we can in a year. Isn't that true?
John C. Maxwell
People's purpose in life is always connected to their giftedness.
John C. Maxwell
We over-exaggerate yesterday. We either think it was better or worse than it was - you know, the good old days. We over-estimate tomorrow we think we can do more than we can - always. And that's why we put off everything till tomorrow.
John C. Maxwell
You realize that we over-exaggerate yesterday, we over-estimate tomorrow and we underestimate today. We think, Well, I'm going to kill time, I'll get back to this tomorrow.
John C. Maxwell
Talk to people, not above them.
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
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
Tomorrow's destiny becomes today's direction.
John C. Maxwell
I had a horrible life habit that I had to change. And I think it's very true, the later we make decisions in life that are important, the harder it is to manage those decisions.
John C. Maxwell
If you wouldn't follow yourself, why should anyone else?
John C. Maxwell
Live to learn and you will really learn to live.
John C. Maxwell
A trustworthy leader goes the extra mile to remedy strained relationships, even when it doesn't appear to be required.
