John Maxwell is passionate about personal growth and ignited a fire in me for the same. Anytime he teaches on this topic I listen. Recently I was forwarded a video with John addressing the this issue. He also talked about the lessons he learned from attending his 50th high school reunion. It is must-watch!!!
I have provided a link below his leadership quotes where you can watch the video and also purchase personal coaching from the guru of leadership himself. Enjoy!!!
The following are 23 Lessons From John Maxwell On Personal Growth:
- You will expand your leadership as you expand your personal growth.
- If you would have heard me 20 years ago you wouldn’t have heard what you heard today. I’m constantly learning. I’m constantly growing.
- I’m not the person today I was 5 years ago.
- Growth is the only guarantee tomorrow will get better.
- The calendar guarantees you will get older… The calendar doesn’t guarantee you and I will get better. Only growth does that.
- I’ve learned right after any experience to write.
- I can’t stop the calendar but I can control my mind.
- Ask questions. Old people lose their curiosity.
- Keep the bar of excellence high. Keep the standards high for yourself. Old people lower the standards. They get tired. They get complacent.
- Be people centric. I want to be interested in people because old people become self-absorbed.
- Be posture conscious. Old people slouch.
- Remain today-focused. Old people talk about yesterday. They always act like their generation was the last great one and everyone behind them is going to hell.
- I believe everyone one of you is going to do bigger and better things than me and I’m here to make sure you do.
- I want everyone of you to stand on my shoulders.
- Growth means change. It’s impossible to grow without change.
- Would you like to do what I did to do what I do?
- There’s pain and process in growth.
- I have to learn. What do I need to learn today that I didn’t know yesterday.
- I have to unlearn. Unlearning is more difficult.
- Learn – Unlearn – Relearn
- At the end of every page I write, I ask one question. Will the reader turn the page?
- Growth is the great separator between those who succeed and those who don’t.
- A healthy team is where you and your team are growing together.
