"Leadership is the willingness to put oneself..." - Quote by John C Maxwell

“We cannot lead anyone farther than we have been ourselves.”

“The measure of a leader is not the number of people who serve him, but the number of people he serves.”

“You add value to people when you value them.”

“Listening (the first competence of leadership) is not a skill, it is a discipline. All you have to do is keep your mouth shut.”

“I am convinced more than ever that good communication and leadership are all about connecting. If you can connect with others at every level -one-on-one, in groups, and with an audience-your relationships are stronger, your sense of community improves, your ability to create teamwork increases, your influence increases, and your productivity skyrockets.”

“It's harder for a leader to be born in a palace than to be born in a cabin.”

“Art is a leap into the dark.”

“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who want to get things done, and those who don't want to make mistakes.”

“Nowadays, saying what you really think can be a serious error since one risks being misunderstood.”
