Quotes from Dr. John C. Maxwell

In honor of Dr. John C. Maxwell’s birthday this month, I would like to share with you 12 quotes from him that have impacted my life:

  1. Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.

  2. Every person has a longing to be significant; to make a contribution; to be a part of something noble and purposeful.

  4. People never care how much you know until they know how much you care.

  5. Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them. 

  6. Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.

  7. The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. 

  8. 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.

  9. Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing.

  10. The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up.
