More quotes by 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
Most pastors have a hard time grasping a vision. But vision is the indispensable quality of a leader.
John C. Maxwell
There is no success without failure and losses.
John C. Maxwell
Failure is an inside job. So is success. If you want to achieve, you have to win the war in your thinking first. You can't let the failure outside you get inside you.
John C. Maxwell
We don't grow on accident, we grow on purpose.
John C. Maxwell
We cannot achieve our wildest dreams by remaining who we are
John C. Maxwell
What I had been taught all my life was not true: experience is not the best teacher! Some people learn and grow as a result of their experience some people don't. Everybody has some kind of experience. It's what you do with that experience that matters.
John C. Maxwell
Vision is something pastors and churches cannot afford to live without.
John C. Maxwell
My leadership began to take flight when I allowed myself to press people to change-whether they thanked me or cursed me.
John C. Maxwell
Talk to people, not above them.
John C. Maxwell
I thought that because I wasn't a sickly person - I never have been - I thought I was healthy. So I assumed health. I didn't have it.
John C. Maxwell
The purpose of leadership is to take others to the top. And when you take others who might not make it to the top otherwise, there's no other feeling like it in the world. To those who have never had the experience, you can't explain it. To those who have, you don't need to.
John C. Maxwell
When you nurture people and add value to them without expecting anything in return, they feel significant.
John C. Maxwell
All great leaders have understood that their number one responsibility is cultivating their own discipline and personal growth. Those who cannot lead themselves cannot lead others.
John C. Maxwell
If you wait until you feel like doing something, you will likely never accomplish it.
John C. Maxwell
Remember, in the end, it isn't what you are that holds you back, it's what you think you are not.
John C. Maxwell
Making matters worse is people's natural inclination to be easy on themselves, judging themselves according to their good intentions-while holding others to a higher standard and judging them by their worst actions.
John C. Maxwell
Every major difficulty you face in life is a fork in the road. You choose which track you will head down, toward breakdown or breakthrough.
John C. Maxwell
You don't overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.
John C. Maxwell
Adversity is an opportunity for self-discovery.
John C. Maxwell
