John Maxwell’s 3 A’s of High Road Leadership

Today, I had the privilege of participating in a Zoom masterclass conducted by John Maxwell entitled “3 A’s of Making High Road Leadership Your Next Level Step to Greater Impact and Greater Income”.  

As part of the promotion of his new book High Road Leadership: Bring People Together in a World That Divides, John taught a portion of the book’s content.  Trust me, you need to get this book by clicking HERE or on the image provided.

First, John gave a clear definition of High Road Leadership.  The following are his thoughts:

A Clear Definition of High Road Leadership

1. “They want more for their people than from their people.”
2. “We don’t see a lot of high road leaders today.”
3. “There is a lack of an abundance mindset.”
4. “They bring people together.  They value all people.  They value their humanness.  They do the right things for the right reasons.  They give more than they take.  They place other people ahead of themselves and their agenda.  They’re accountable for their actions.  They don’t keep score.”
5. “The rising of leadership is good leadership skills and good values.  A lot of leaders have good leadership skills but not good values.”
6. “When you’re not led well you have leaders who think of themselves rather than their people.”
7. “A high road leader is a plus in your life and a low road leader is a minus in your life.”

An Abundance Mindset

1. “There are two types of people – an abundance mindset and a scarcity mindset.  Whatever your mindset is is your world.”
2. “An abundance mindset has room for others.”
3. “It’s possible to have a scarcity mindset and do without while the person beside you has an abundance mindset and has plenty.”
4. “Whatever you think is going to happen.”
5. “A clenched hand never received anything.”
6. “Whatever your mindset is today is true to you and is your world.”
7. “Our mindset determines how much blessing we have in our life.”
8. “Everyone month I have a learning lunch.”
9. “If you’re at the head of the class, you’re in the wrong class.”
10. “I’m an experience junkie.”
11. “I like to help people enjoy the experience and evaluate the experience.”
12. “Evaluated experience is the best teacher…  It is in the evaluation we learn.”

Authenticity

1. “When your authentic self is flawed but operated by good values, you’re willing to share it with others.”
2. “The choices we make are greater than the gifts we’ve been given.”

Accountability

1. “The better the excuse, the worse it is because we’re more likely to let ourselves off the hook.”
2. “Take accountability, not being accountable.”
3. “Being accountable is passive.  When I take accountability, I own it.”
4. “The quickest way to improve your life is to accountable to someone.”
5. “If you judge yourself by your actions, you’ll be accountable.  If you judge yourself by your intentions, you won’t be accountable.”
6. “I’m responsible.”
