John C. Maxwell
heart hands use
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.
leadership people
Needless to say, you can love people without leading them, but you cannot lead people without loving them.
christian opportunity opportunities-to-learn
Problems almost always create opportunities - to learn, grow and improve.
people secret determine
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.
challenges get-back
Failure is not fatal. Only failure to get back up is.
single hurt moving
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.
dream journey people
Dreams require down payments. Dreams are free, but the journey isn't. There is a price to pay. When you find your why you'll find your way. When you develop your will you will embark on your way. Many people start; few people finish. Many people have a dream; few people achieve their dreams.
reality vision pastor
There are a lot of pastors who have a vision and have not yet seen it become a reality.
leadership order challenges
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.
leadership people chance
The better you are at surrounding yourself with people of high potential, the greater your chance for success.
people leader stronger
People naturally follow leaders stronger than themselves.
leadership two people
Leaders have two characteristics: first they are going somewhere, and second they are able to persuade other people to go with them.
thinking people vision
When I had something I thought God was talking to me about, the first thing I did, before I ever talked to the congregation, was to sit down with the major influencers of the church and share with them what I thought God was speaking to me. I gave them time for input or questions. Many times they would ask questions and I would reply, "I need to spend more time on this. I'm not sure I'm thinking clearly there." Other times they added value and helped make this vision better or more accessible to the people.
no-hope
Where there is no hope in the future, there is no power in the present.
