The true measure of leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less.

The key to your success, to my success, to everyone's success is determined by our daily agenda. What you and I do every day is either making us or breaking us, we're either preparing or repairing. So when somebody says, 'John, I want to be a success. Where do I start?' I say, It's very simple. Start with today.

Over time, is it easier or harder to sustain your influence within your organization? With charisma alone, influence becomes increasingly more difficult to sustain. With character, as time passes, influence builds and requires less work to sustain.

Listen twice as much as you speak.

A successful person finds the right place for himself. But a successful leader finds the right place for others. By John Maxwell

Leaders attract potential leaders.

Before you can do anything else in the lives of others, you must show them love.
