More quotes by John C. Maxwell
Competence goes beyond words. It's the leader's ability to say it, plan it, and do it in such a way that others know that you know how - and know that they want to follow you.
John C. Maxwell
If churches would take ownership of a vision, the next pastor who is thinking about coming to that church can see what their vision is and then determine if their vision fits with his or her ministry. If it doesn't, then it would be wrong for that pastor to come to that church.
John C. Maxwell

John C. Maxwell

John C. Maxwell
Needless to say, you can love people without leading them, but you cannot lead people without loving 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
What I find them struggling most isn't with one of the twelve [things from daily list] I find them struggling with what decisions to make.
John C. Maxwell
Everyone you know and all the people you meet have the potential to be someone important in the lives of others.
John C. Maxwell
Leader’s potential is determined by those closest to him.
John C. Maxwell
I've known people who thought that reaching their potential would come from shoring up their weaknesses. But do you know what happens when you spend all your time working on your weaknesses and never developing your strengths? If you work really hard, you might claw your way all the way to mediocrity! But you'll never get beyond it.
John C. Maxwell
What you are going to be tomorrow, you are becoming today.
John C. Maxwell
We choose what attitudes we have right now. And it's a continuing choice.
John C. Maxwell
