More quotes by John C. Maxwell
To do something really big, let go of your ego, and get ready to be part of a team.
John C. Maxwell
If you are leading others and you're lonely, then you're not doing it right. Think about it. If you're all alone, that means nobody is following you. And if nobody is following you, you're not really leading!
John C. Maxwell
God wants to be our partner throughout life. Too often we are tempted to either carry the entire load ourselves or give everything to God and do nothing. God doesn't like either strategy. Sometimes He moves before us and sometimes after us - but He doesn't move without us. Without God... we cannot. Without us... God will not.
John C. Maxwell
Your attitude is either your best friend or your worst enemy, your greatest asset or your greatest liability
John C. Maxwell
Not everybody who has a vision is a leader, but every leader has a vision.
John C. Maxwell
Pay now, play later play now, pay later.
John C. Maxwell
Practice the 101 Percent Principle. Whenever possible, find the 1 percent you do agree on in a difficult situation, and give it 100 percent of your effort.
John C. Maxwell
As you begin changing your thinking, start immediately to change your behavior. Begin to act the part of the person you would like to become. Take action on your behavior. Too many people want to feel, then take action. This never works.
John C. Maxwell
Never allow others to think you always have the best answers. This will only make them dependent on you.
John C. Maxwell
In most cases, those who want power probably shouldn't have it, those who enjoy it probably do so for the wrong reasons, and those who want most to hold on to it don't understand that it's only temporary.
John C. Maxwell
Your attitude towards failure determines your altitude after failure.
John C. Maxwell
While everyone exercises influence, the size and strength of our influence depends upon our effort. No one leads well without paying the price of discipline. As we push ourselves to grow and to learn, we enlarge our sphere of influence.
John C. Maxwell
Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent.
John C. Maxwell
If you are a leader, the true measure of your success is not getting people to work. It's not getting people to work hard. It is getting people to work hard together. That takes commitment.
John C. Maxwell
If you want to help others and become a person of influence, keep smiling, sharing, giving, and turning the other cheek.
John C. Maxwell
The sheer act of listening speaks volumes that even a great speech can't communicate.
John C. Maxwell
Tenacious people don't rely on luck, fate, or destiny for their success. And when conditions become difficult, they keep working.
John C. Maxwell
Take the emotional temperature of those listening to you. Facial expressions, voice inflection and posture give clues to a person's mood and attitude.
John C. Maxwell
Attitude: It is our best friend or our worst enemy.
John C. Maxwell
Leaders who fail to lift others in the long run, fail to lift themselves.
John C. Maxwell
