John C. Maxwell Leader Quotations [Page 2]

Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Leaders who are good navigators are capable of taking their people just about anywhere.

Being one step ahead makes you a leader Being fifty steps ahead could make you a martyr.

Leadership involves the heavy burden of responsibility, and the fear of getting it wrong can paralyze a leader.

The great leaders in history were great not because of what they owned or earned but because of what they gave their lives to accomplish. They made a difference!

The leader's attitude helps determine the attitudes of the followers.

The law of process says — leaders develop daily, not in a day.

Not everyone will become a great leader, but everyone can become a better leader.

A proven leader always has a proven track record.

Confidence is a characteristic of a positive attitude. The greatest achievers and leaders remain confident regardless of circumstances.

A leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees before others do." (Leroy Eims)

When the leader lacks confidence, the followers lack commitment.

To be a leader you must be able to create positive change.

A leader's attitude is caught by his or her followers more quickly than his or her actions.

The real leader holds the power, not just the position.

If your a leader, do everything you can to grow yourself and create the right environment for others to grow.

True Leadership always begins with the inner person.

Encourage the many; mentor the few.

Leaders provide for their people what the people cannot provide for themselves.

While a good leader sustains momentum, a great leader increases it.

Inspiring others to do better work is the accomplishment of a leader.

Loyalty to the leader reaches its highest peak when the follower has personally grown through the mentorship of the leader.

Leaders who fail to lift others in the long run, fail to lift themselves.

People have a seed to success within them. Most never find it and therefore fail to reach their potential. Occasionally, a leader discovers it and helps that individual develop it. For both, they now can fulfill the purpose for which they are born.

Anyone can follow a path, but only a leader can blaze one.

If you want leaders, you must become a leader yourself!

No great leader in history fought to prevent change.

The attitude of the leader affects the atmosphere of the office

Leaders are less interested in their position and more interested in their positive impact on others.

The best place for a leader isn't always at the top position. It is the place where they can serve the best and add the most value to other people.

A leader's lasting value is measured by succession.

The leader is there for the people, not the people for the leader

For leaders to be effective, they need to connect with people.

The key to becoming a more efficient leader isn't checking off all the items on your to-do list each day. It's in forming the habit of prioritizing your time so that you are accomplishing your most important goals in an efficient manner.

The best leaders are humble enough to realize their victories depend upon their people.

Passion creates energy and magnetically pulls co-workers and customers into a shared vision, and it is exceptionally strong when linked with a leader's values.
