Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending John Maxwell’s Live2Lead Conference. A primary theme of the event was to champion the concepts found in John’s upcoming book Change Your World: How Anyone, Anywhere Can Make a Difference and his desire for transformation. I was gifted an advance copy and can’t recommend you purchase it enough. Trust me!!! It is that good!
The teaching was as fine as you will ever hear. It will take you 7-8 minutes to read the quotes from the incredible speaker line-up shown above and a lifetime to apply them. The following are The Best 50 Leadership Quotes From John Maxwell’s Live2Lead Conference:
