The more you have been gifted with natural talent, the better you will be when you first get started—and the more tempted you will be to rely on that talent alone. - John Maxwell
You cannot speak that which u do not know. You cannot share that which u do not feel. You cannot translate that which u do not have. And u cannot give that which u do not possess. To give it & to share it, & for it to be effective, you first need to have it. - John Maxwell
Great, confident leaders are still humble. They don’t allow their accomplishments and position of authority to make them feel that they’re better than anyone else. - John Maxwell
Transformational leaders: See things others do not see. Believe things others do not believe. Say things others do not say. Feel things others do not feel. Do things others do not do. Receive things others do not receive. - John Maxwell
Trustworthiness makes leaders and communicators effective because people listen to them, believe what they say, and cooperate with them. Without trust, everything grinds to a halt. - John Maxwell
Trust is a person’s greatest asset. When you have established your trustworthiness, people know you possess good motives, that you genuinely want to help others. People can sense it.
Relive what you have learned, allowing the audience to relive it with you. Earn the audience’s respect by sharing your wins and gain their love by sharing your failures. Decide what you shall speak on by choosing what you have lived out. - John Maxwell
The truth is that you either lead by example or you don’t lead at all. Seeing is believing, and your constituents have to see you living out the standards you’ve set and the values you profess. - James Kouzes & Barry Posner
Since the best predictor of what a person will do today is what he did yesterday, a solid pattern of consistency gives a person credibility. What you repeatedly do tells others who you are. - John Maxwell
