More From 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.

Success Is Not A Destination Thing, It’s A Daily Thing.

A Visionary Company Is Like A Great Work Of Art. Think Of Michelangelo's Scenes From Genesis On The Ceiling Of The Sistine Chapel Or His Statue Of David. Think Of A Great And Enduring Novel Like Huckleberry Finn Or Crime And Punishment. Think Of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony Or Shakespeare's Henry V. Think Of A Beautifully Designed Building, Like The Masterpieces Of Frank Lloyd Wright Or Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe. You Can't Point To Any One Single Item That Makes The Whole Thing Work; It's The Entire Work-all The Pieces Working Together To Create An Overall Effect-that Leads To Enduring Greatness.

If You Want To Achieve Great Things, You Need To Have A Great Dream.

Live To Learn And You Will Really Learn To Live.

People Of Influence Understand The Incredible Value Of Becoming A Good Listener.

I Hold Conferences, And The Result Of That Was That The Secular Community Also Started Picking Up My Stuff, And Pretty Soon They Wanted More. So I Realized I Could Not Only Minister To The Christian Community, But I Could Also Minister To The Corporate Community. So My Books Started Crossing Over, And Then I Began To Intentionally Have Them Cross Over.

Everything Rises And Falls On Leadership.

It Is The Leaders Job To Add Significance To The Lives Of The People He Leads.

Like Every Person, Every Thought Has The Potential To Become Something Great.

Be Intentional To Add Value To Every Person You Meet Everyday.

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.

People Change When They Hurt Enough That They Have To Change, Learn Enough That They Want To Change, Receive Enough That They Are Able To Change.

Leaders Become Great, Not Because Of Their Power, But Because Of Their Ability To Empower Others.

Reaching The Top Is A Monumental Achievement, But Remaining There May Be The Most Spectacular Feat Of All.

Adversity Is A Crossroads That Makes A Person Choose One Of Two Paths: Character Or Compromise. Every Time He Chooses Character, He Becomes Stronger, Even If That Choice Brings Negative Consequences.

Enlightenment Writer And Philosopher Voltaire Likened Life To A Game Of Cards. Players Must Accept The Cards Dealt To Them. However, Once They Have Those Cards In Hand, They Alone Choose How They Will Play Them. They Decide What Risks And Actions To Take.

Loyalty To The Leader Reaches Its Highest Peak When The Follower Has Personally Grown Through The Mentorship Of The Leader.

As You Get Older, Time Speeds Up But Life Slows Down.

Confidence Is A Characteristic Of A Positive Attitude. The Greatest Achievers And Leaders Remain Confident Regardless Of Circumstances.

Characteristics

Poem By Howard A. Walter (character) I Would Be True, For There Are Those Who Trust Me; I Would Be Pure, For There Are Those Who Care; I Would Be Strong, For There Are Those Who Suffer; I Would Be Brave, For There Is Much To Dare. I Would Be Friend Of All--- The Foe, The Friendless; I Would Be Giving, And Forget The Gift; I Would Be Humble, For I Know My Weakness; I Would Look Up, And Laugh, And Love, And Lift.

Good People Always Rise To Your Level Of Expectation.

I'm Not Where I'm Supposed To Be, I'm Not What I Want To Be, But I'm Not What I Used To Be. I Haven't Learned How To Arrive; I've Just Learned How To Keep Going

Leaders Don't Rise To The Pinnacle Of Success Without Developing The Right Set Of Attitudes And Habits; They Make Every Day A Masterpiece.

A Leader Is One Who Sees More Than Others See, Who Sees Farther Than Others See, And Who Sees Before Others Do." (leroy Eims)

If Your Face Is Going To “talk” For You Anyway, You Might As Well Have It Communicate Something Positive.

Don't Wait Until You Feel Positive To Move Forward. Act Your Way Into Feeling Good.

Positive Thinking

We Tend To Get In Life What We Are Willing To Tolerate.

We Overestimate The Event And Underestimate The Process. Every Fulfilled Dream Occurred Because Of Dedication To The Process.

Point Out A Great Strength Of Someone In Your Life Today!

You Either Spend Your Life Preparing Or You Spend Your Life Repairing.

Personnel Determines The Potential Of The Team. Vision Determines The Direction Of The Team. Work Ethic Determines The Preparation Of The Team. Leadership Determines The Success Of The Team.

If Something Can Be Done 80% As Well By Someone Else, Delegate!

No Matter Your Title, People Will Not Follow You If They Don’t Trust You.

Success Each Day Should Be Judged By The Seeds Sown, Not The Harvest Reaped.

Find Your Vision, And Let It Guide You In All That You Do. If You Lack Vision, Look Inside Yourself. Draw On Your Natural Gifts And Desires.

Everything You Now Do Is Something You Have Chosen To Do. Some People Don't Want To Believe That. But If You're Over Age Twenty-one, Your Life Is What You're Making Of It. To Change Your Life, You Need To Change Your Priorities

A Manager Says 'go,' But A Leader Says 'let's Go'.

Mistakes Are The Stepping Stones To Success.

Stepping Stones

Transmit Your Vision Emotionally By Gaining Credibility, Demonstrating Passion, Establishing Relationships And Communicating A Felt Need. Transmit It Logically By Confronting Reality, Formulating Strategy, Accepting Responsibility, Celebrating Victory And Learning From Defeat.

People Tend To Become What The Most Important People In Their Lives Think They Will Become.

Inability To Make Decisions Is One Of The Principal Reasons Executives Fail. Deficiency In Decision-making Ranks Much Higher Than Lack Of Specific Knowledge Or Technical Know-how As An Indicator Of Leadership Failure.

At The Beginning, All We Have Is The Vision. At That Point God Expects Us To Begin Walking In Obedience According To The Dream He Has Given Us.

The Process Of Achievement Comes Through Repeated Failures And The Constant Struggle To Climb To A Higher Level.

Confidence Equals Contentment With Self; Contentment Is Knowing You Have All You Need For The Present Circumstances.

The Greatest Of All Miracles Is That We Need Not Be Tomorrow What We Are Today. The Greatest Of All Insights Is That We Cannot Be Tomorrow What We Do Not Do Today. That Is Why Today Matters.

Some Of My Best Thinking Is Done By Others.

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.

Perhaps Our Greatest Power In Life Is The Power To Choose. Without Question, Choices Are The Most Determining Factor In How Our Lives Turn Out.

Image Is What People Think We Are. Integrity Is What We Really Are.

It Takes A Team To Do Anything Of Lasting Value

Any Leader Who Asks The Right Questions Of The Right People Has The Potential To Discover And Develop Great Ideas.

Once Our Minds Are 'tattooed' With Negative Thinking, Our Chances For Long-term Success Diminish.

Working Together Precedes Winning Together...collaboration Is Multiplication.

Working Together

No Matter Your Title, People Will Not Follow You If They Don’t Trust You. Whether You Are Just Taking Over A Team Or Working To Implement Large-scale Change Within One, You Are Guaranteed To Run Into Resistance If You Haven’t Taken Time To Establish A Foundation With The People You Oversee Before Turning Their Worlds Upside Down.

Cooperation Is Working Together Agreeably... Collaboration Is Working Together Aggressively; And Theres A World Of Difference Between Those Two.

Working Together

When The Dream Is Right For The Person And The Person Is Right For The Dream, The Two Cannot Be Separated From Each Other.

Successful People Don't Have Any Fewer Problems Than Unsuccessful People; They Just Have A Different Mindset In Dealing With Them.

Few Things Build A Person Up Like Affirmation. According To Webster’s New World Dictionary, Third College Edition (simon And Schuster, 1991), The Word Affirm Comes From Ad Firmare, Which Means “to Make Firm.” So When You Affirm People, You Make Firm Within Them The Things You See About Them. Do That Often Enough, And The Belief That Solidifies Within Them Will Become Stronger Than The Doubts They Have About Themselves.

Nothing Separates Successful People From Unsuccessful People More Than How They Use Their Time!

It Takes A Lot Of People To Create A Success. That's Why I Say That Few Leaders Are Successful Unless A Lot Of People Want Them To Be.

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.

The Higher You Want To Climb, The More You Need Leadership. The Greater The Impact You Want To Make, The Greater Your Influence Needs To Be. Whatever You Will Accomplish Is Restricted By Your Ability To Lead Others.

Management Is The Process Of Assuring That The Program And Objectives Of The Organization Are Implemented. Leadership On The Other Hand Has To Do With Casting Vision And Motivating People.

The Single Biggest Way To Impact An Organization Is To Focus On Leadership Development. There Is Almost No Limit To The Potential Of An Organization That Recruits Good People, Raises Them Up As Leaders And Continually Develops Them.

An Attitude's Growth Never Stops.

Many Pastors Fail To See God's Vision Fulfilled Because They Never Have A Strategy For Fulfilling That Vision.

When A Person Starts To Talk About Their Dreams, It's As If Something Bubbles Up From Within. Their Eyes Brighten, Their Face Glows, And You Can Feel The Excitement In Their Words.

The Leader’s Attitude Is Like A Thermostat For The Place She Works. If Her Attitude Is Good, The Atmosphere Is Pleasant, And The Environment Is Easy To Work In. But If Her Attitude Is Bad, The Temperature Is Insufferable.

The Moment You Place A Label On Someone, You Begin To Treat Him Or Her Accordingly.

To Lead Yourself, Use Your Head; To Lead Others, Use Your Heart. Always Touch A Person's Heart Before You Ask Him For A Hand.

I Remember As A Seventeen-year-old Kid Saying, "if Attitude Made Me Captain Of This Team, I'm Going To Have A Good Attitude All My Life."

The Only Thing A Title Can Buy Is A Little Time-either To Increase Your Level Of Influence With Others Or To Undermine It.

Success Is A Continuing Thing. It Is Growth And Development. It Is Achieving One Thing And Using That As A Stepping Stone To Achieve Something Else.

Our Attitude Determines Our Approach To Life.

I Think We Impress People By Our Success, But I Think We Impact Them By Our Failures.

Our Challenge Is To Think Right In A Wrong World. Our Challenge Is To Think Positive In A Negative World.

The Most Talented Do Not Always End Up As Celebrities, And Those With Less Talent Often Do. Upsets Are Written Into Our History And Occur Around Us Every Day.

Every Person Has A Longing To Be Significant; To Make A Contribution; To Be A Part Of Something Noble And Purposeful.

If You Have Great People Around You, They Will Take You Higher Than Your Dream Will. Leaders Are Never Self-made. Those Closest To You Determine Your Level Of Success, So Choosing The Right Companions As Partners In Pursuit Of Your Vision Is An Important Decision. My Advice Is To Surround Yourself With Talented People Who Will Challenge You, Help You Grow And Inspire You To Maximize Your Potential.

Seven Steps To Success 1) Make A Commitment To Grow Daily. 2) Value The Process More Than Events. 3) Don't Wait For Inspiration. 4) Be Willing To Sacrifice Pleasure For Opportunity. 5) Dream Big. 6) Plan Your Priorities. 7) Give Up To Go Up.

When You Believe In People, You Motivate Them And Release Their Potential.

I Believe That Everyone Chooses How To Approach Life. If You're Proactive, You Focus On Preparing. If You're Reactive, You End Up Focusing On Repairing.

Everyone Has The Power To Impact The Outcome Of His Life. The Way To Do It Is To Focus On Today. . . It Is Too Late For Yesterday. And You Can't Depend On Tomorrow.

Everyone Has The Potential To Become An Encourager. You Don't Have To Be Rich. You Don't Have To Be A Genius. You Don't Have To Have It All Together. All You Have To Do Is Care About People And Initiate.

A Leader Can Give Up Anything - Except Final Responsibility.

People Are Not Going To Give You A Vision, But God Can.

Your Attitude Towards Failure Determines Your Altitude After Failure.

Brokenness Involves Removing Inappropriate Pride And Self-reliance And Building Healthy God-reliance.

Never Allow Others To Think You Always Have The Best Answers. This Will Only Make Them Dependent On You.

Every Worthwhile Accomplishment Has A Price Tag Attached To It. The Question Is Always Whether You Are Willing To Pay The Price To Attain It - In Hard Work, Sacrifice, Patience, Faith, And Endurance.

The Key Choices You Make-apart From The Natural Talent You Already Have-will Set You Apart From Others Who Have Talent Alone.

I Say, Make The Decision, And As Soon As You Make The Decision, The Rest Of Your Life You Just Manage That Decision On A Daily Basis.

Rest Of Your Life

Without A Vision People And The Church Become Self-centered. People Start Finding Fault With One Another And The Church Self-destructs.

If You Want To Be Positive, Upbeat, And Passionate, You Need To Take Responsibility For Being That Way.

To Change Your Life You Need To Change Your Priorities.

Changing Your Life

Time Is More Valuable Than Money, Because Time Is Irreplaceable.

Motivation Is Like Love And Happiness. It's A By-product. When You're Actively Engaged In Doing Something, It Sneaks Up And Zaps You When You Least Expect It.

Happiness And Love

The Wrong Action Done At The Wrong Time Spells Disaster The Right Action Done At The Wrong Time Spells Resistance The Wrong Action Done At The Right Time Spells Mistake But The Right Action Done At The Right Time Spells A Miracle

People Rise And Fall To Meet Your Level Of Expectations For Them. If You Express Skepticism And Doubt In Others, They Will Return Your Lack Of Confidence With Mediocrity. But If You Believe In Them And Expect Them To Do Well, They Will Go The Extra Mile Trying To Do Their Best.

The Size Of A Person Is More Important Than The Size Of The Problem.

To Help People Believe They Can Achieve Victory, Put Them In A Position To Experience Small Successes.

Do Not Take The Agenda That Someone Else Has Mapped Out For Your Life.

Confront Your Inadequacies And Push Your Personal Boundaries: It's The Surest Way To Grow, Improve And Expand The Scope Of Your Influence.

Leadership Is Influence. It Is The Ability To Obtain Followers. When The Leader Lacks Confidence, The Followers Have No Commitment. A Leader Is Great Not Because Of His Power, But Because Of His Ability To Empower Others.

Integrity Is The Factor That Determines Which One Will Prevail. We Struggle Daily With Situations That Demand Decisions Between What We Want To Do And What We Ought To Do. Integrity Establishes The Ground Rules For Resolving These Tensions. It Determines Who We Are And How We Will Respond Before The Conflict Even Appears. Integrity Welds What We Say, Think, And Do, Into A Whole Person So That Permission Is Never Granted For One Of These To Be Out Of Sync.

Good Thinkers Are Always In Demand. A Person Who Knows How May Always Have A Job, But The Person Who Knows Why Will Always Be His Boss.

One Person Seeking Glory Doesn't Accomplish Much. Success Is The Result Of People Pulling Together To Meet Common Goals.

Self-discipline, More Than Any Other Personal Quality I Can Think Of, Is The One Thing That Separates Successful People From The Unsuccessful. Think Of All It Encompasses: Honoring Commitments, Promises And Deadlines, Keeping Your Life On Schedule, Being Willing To Go The Extra Mile... Self-discipline Is Essential To Success. The Alternative Is A Life Ruled By Emotions, And None Of Us Can Afford That If We're Going To Fulfill Our Purpose And Realize Our Potential.

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.

Conflict Is Like Cancer; Early Detection Increases The Possibility Of A Healthy Outcome.

Your Teammates Will Stretch Your Vision Or Choke Your Dream.

A Team Doesn't Win The Championship If Its Players Are Working From Different Agendas.

A Man Must Be Big Enough To Admit His Mistakes, Smart Enough To Profit From Them, And Strong Enough To Correct Them. This Sequence Is Something That All Achievers Have In Common. They Do Not See A Mistake Is As Their Failure; Rather It Is Simply A Learning Experience. Achievers View A Mistake As An Opportunity To Do Something Over Again And Do It Right The Second Time. A Mistake Is Simply The Price They Pay To Achieve Success.

All Visions Begin With Relationships. My Relationship With God Is Where I Receive The Vision; My Relationship With My People Is Where I Give The Vision. If Those Relationships Aren't What They Could Be Or Should Be, On Either Side, The Receiving Or The Giving Out, The Vision Is Going To Be Aborted.

You Cannot Buy Or Win Happiness. You Must Choose It.

You Can Never Be More Outside Of You, Than What's In You

I Would Rather Be Viewed By The Reader As I'm Just Taking A Journey With You, And Here's What I'm Learning, What Are You Learning? Oh, You Do This Better Than Me. Than To Be Viewed As Kind Of Like An Authority.

Growth Today Is An Investment For Tomorrow.

Problems Are Not My Problem. It's Not What Happens To Me But What Happens In Me That Matters.

I've Worked Very Hard At Giving Excellent Training And Good Materials, Resources, Books, And Then The Corporate Community Gives Me Respect. And I'm Finding Now That They Really Want A Relationship With Me, They're Letting Me In Their Lives, And Of Course, When You Get In Their Lives You Find A Tremendous Need For God.

Service Culture

It's Easy To Have A Great Attitude When Things Are Going Our Way...it's When Difficult Challenges Rise Before Us...that Attitude Becomes The Difference Maker.

Ordinary People With Commitment Can Make An Extraordinary Impact On The Their World.

Do Something You Hate Every Day, Just For The Practice.

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.

The Visalus Founders Are The Finest And Sharpest Young Leaders That I Have Ever Met.

If I Expect Great Things From My People, They'll Go To Great Lengths To Keep From Disappointing Me.

You Will Never Be Able To Bet On Yourself Unless You Believe In Yourself.

You See, When Our Attitudes Outdistance Our Abilities, Even The Impossible Becomes Possible.

Pay Now, Play Later; Play Now, Pay Later.

Procrastination

Life Is A Matter Of Choices, And Every Choice You Make Makes You.

Choices You Make

If You Are A Parent, You Have Probably Already Realized That Your Children Are Always Watching What You Do. And Just As Children Watch Their Parents And Emulate Their Behavior, So Do Employees Who Are Watching Their Bosses.

The Success Of A Vision Is Determined By Its Ownership By Both The Leader And The People.

You Build Trust With Others Each Time You Choose Integrity Over Image, Truth Over Convenience, Or Honor Over Personal Gain.

Why Did The Achievers Overcome Problems While Thousands Are Overwhelmed By Theirs? They Refused To Hold On To The Common Excuses For Failure. They Turned Their Stumbling Blocks Into Stepping Stones. They Realized That They Couldn't Determine Every Circumstance In Life But They Could Determine Their Choice Of Attitude Towards Every Circumstance.

You Can Change Your Tomorrow If You Do Something Today. Few People Understand How The Way You Live Today Impacts Your Tomorrow. Today Is The Only Time We Have Within Our Grasp, Yet Many People Let It Slip Through Their Fingers, Recognizing Neither Its Value Nor Potential. If We Want To Do Something With Our Lives, Then We Must Make Today Matter, Because That's Where Tomorrow's Success Lies.

..give Them Your Faith, And They Become Confident, Energized, And Self-reliant.

Although It's Admirable To Be Ambitious And Hard-working, It's More Desirable To Be Smart-working.

People Naturally Follow Leaders Stronger Than Themselves.

The Most Successful People In Life Are The Ones Who Settle Their Critical Issues Early And Manage Them Daily.

When You Reflect, You Are Able To Put An Experience Into Perspective... Reflective Thinking Enables You To Distance Yourself From The Intense Emotions Of Particularly Good Or Bad Experiences And See Them With Fresh Eyes.

If You Travel Alone, You Can Probably Go Faster. But The Journey Will Never Be As Rewarding, And You Probably Won't Be Able To Go As Far.

Problems Almost Always Create Opportunities - To Learn, Grow And Improve.

Opportunities To Learn

Inexperienced Leaders Are Quick To Lead Before Knowing Anything About The People They Intend To Lead. But Mature Leaders Listen, Learn And Then Lead.

The Rallying Call To People Is To Give Them Hope. When You Have Hope, That's Huge.

For Years I Kept A Sign On My Desk That Helped Me Maintain The Right Perspective Concerning Yesterday. It Simply Said, 'yesterday Ended Last Night.' It Reminded Me That No Matter How Badly I Might Have Failed In The Past, It's Done, And Today Is A New Day.

As You Interact With Others, Remember This: Anytime A Person's Response Is Larger Than The Issue At Hand, The Response Is Almost Always About Something Else.

Doing The Right Thing Daily, Compounds Over Time.

Doing The Right Thing

Courage Isn't An Absence Of Fear. It Is Doing What You Are Afraid To Do, Letting Go Of The Familiar And Forging Ahead Into New Territory. What I Have Discovered Is That The Best Leaders Have The Courage To Act - Are Willing To Take The Risk, Make The Statement, Point The Way, Lead The Way - When Others Hesitate Out Of Fear. Effective Leadership Requires The Ability To Stand Up, Stand Out, And The Conviction To Do It. I Have Never Known A Successful Leader That Was Not Courageous.

Now More Than Ever I Am Aware That A Person's Significant Birthdays Can Either Mark The Passage Of Time, Or They Can Mark Changes They've Made In Their Lives To Reach Their Potential And Become The Person They Were Created To Be. With Each Passing Year, I Want To Make Good Choices That Make Me A Better Person, Help Me Become A Better Leader, And Make A Positive Impact On Others.

The First Order Of Things To Be Changed Is Me, The Leader. After I Consider How Hard It Is To Change Myself, Then I Will Understand The Challenge Of Trying To Change Others. This Is The Ultimate Test Of Leadership.

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.

A Dream Becomes A Reality As A Result Of Your Actions, And Your Actions Are Controlled, To A Large Extent, By Your Habits.

Stay Focused Instead Of Getting Offended Or Off Track By Others.

I Wish I Could Say I Coined The Phrase "failing Forward." I Do It All The Time. I Find As I've Embraced This Approach To Business, Life, Cycling And Generally Any New Endeavor I Take On, I've Grown More And More Comfortable With The Possibility That I Am Not Likely To Succeed On My First Try. And That's Ok.

Remember, Man Does Not Live On Bread Alone: Sometimes He Needs A Little Buttering Up.

Trust Must Be Built Day By Day. It Calls For Consistency.

Integrity Is The Most Needed To Succeed In Business.

If Your Desire Is To Be Successful Or To Make A Positive Impact On Your World, You Need To Become A Person Of Influence.

Business Success

Efficiency Is The Foundation For Survival. Effectiveness Is The Foundation For Success.

Decision-making Takes Care Of Goal-setting, But Discipline Also Takes Care Of Goal-getting. Decisions And Discipline Can't Be Separated; One Is Worthless Without The Other.

The Person With A Plan, A Picture, Will Go After Thoughts That Add Value To Their Thinking.

I Felt The Hand And The Call Of God In My Life That I Would Be Doing Ministry And Trying To Serve Him The Best That I Could.

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.

Not Everyone Will Become A Great Leader, But Everyone Can Become A Better Leader.

Nurturing Has The Ability To Transform People's Lives.

Adversity Is An Opportunity For Self-discovery.

You Can't Grow And Learn If Your Focus Is On Finding Someone Else To Blame Instead Of Looking At Your Own Shortcomings.

Progress Is Often Just A Good Idea Away.

Big-picture Thinkers Broaden Their Outlook By Striving To Learn From Every Experience. They Don't Rest On Their Successes, They Learn From Them.

My Leadership Began To Take Flight When I Allowed Myself To Press People To Change-whether They Thanked Me Or Cursed Me.

Your Emotions Are Making It Difficult For You To Accept Hard Decisions.

Leadership Is Evoking In Others The Capacity To Dream.

The Best Leaders Are Humble Enough To Realize Their Victories Depend Upon Their People.

When The Leader Lacks Confidence, The Followers Lack Commitment.

Presence Is A Result Of Confidence. Presence... When We See It We Feel It.

We Don't Mature Momentarily, But Over The Long-term.

If You Don't Change The Direction You Are Going, Then You're Likely To End Up Where You're Heading.

Tomorrow Really Will Take Care Of Itself If I Do The Right Thing Today.

The Church That Will Not Give Up Will Be Outdated And Passed By, Quicker Than They Realize.

The Leader's Attitude Helps Determine The Attitudes Of The Followers.

I Keep Telling People That The Secret Of Their Success Is Discovered In Their Daily Agenda. What They Do Daily Is Going To Determine Their Success.

Not Realizing What You Want Is A Problem Of Knowledge. Not Pursuing What You Want Is A Problem Of Motivation. Not Achieving What You Want Is A Problem Of Persistence.

There Is No Such Thing As A Perfect Flawless Attitude.

People May Hear Your Words, But They Feel Your Attitude.
