People buy into….

….. the leader before they buy into the vision.

– John C Maxwell

 

You don’t become…..

…… an effective leader by default.

– John C Maxwell

People who are……

……. not leaders automatically gravitate toward lines–limitations set by others. Many people are taught this in kindergarten when they are instructed to stay within the lines while colouring. But leaders are more creative than that. They look for options and opportunities. They try to take things in a new direction, or beyond the limit. Progress and innovation are made by people who think without lines.

– John C Maxwell

Leadership is…..

……. the readiness to stand out in a crowd.

– John C Maxwell

Leaders must be…..

…….. close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

– John C Maxwell

Leadership is ….

…. the power of one harnessing the power of many.

– John C Maxwell

Leadership is…..

……. seeing the possibilities in a situation while others are seeing the limitations.

– John C Maxwell

Leadership is….

……. taking responsibility while others are making excuses.

– John C Maxwell

The leader continually……

……. passes on the vision to those who come around, knowing that dreams, if presented right, are contagious.

– John C. Maxwell
