Connecting is the ability to identify with people and relate to them in a way that increases your influence with them.
John C. MaxwellIt takes a lot of people to create a success. That's why I say that few leaders are successful unless a lot of people want them to be.
John C. MaxwellThe position does not make you a leader. The title, the promotion, the fancy corner office do not make you a leader. No, it is relationships with people that are the foundation, the very heart of leadership. Have you ever worked for someone you didn't like? It's difficult, isn't it? On the other hand, the leader you will follow anywhere and everywhere is one you know cares about you, and values you. This person has your best interests at heart. It is the leader who comes alongside to help you improve and grow.
John C. MaxwellA successful person finds the right place for himself. But a successful leader finds the right place for others. Few things in life are better than seeing people realize their potential. If you invest in people by helping individuals improve themselves, showing them the way to their โright placeโ, they will never be the same again. And neither will you. It is impossible to help others without helping yourself.
