Episode 104 (Grow and Lead)

Welcome to this episode where we talk about (THE LEADERSHIP HANDBOOK) book written by John C. Maxwell. The book provides important concepts and lessons for leaders to be successful and effective.

The eighth lesson of the book is (The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality). The important points under this lesson are the following:

- People only change if they have suffered enough to be forced to change, learned enough to change, or gained enough to be able to implement it.

- Reality is the foundation of positive change. If you don not face reality, you will not be able to make the necessary changes.

- Realistic leaders realize that self-deception can cost them their vision.

- If you lack realism today, you may lack credibility with others tomorrow.

- Our ability to define reality as leaders means adopting realistic thinking so that we can see the consequences of our actions more clearly and farther than those around us.

- The reality is that many people do not want to face reality. That is why it is good to ask others to help us.

- You can never make a series of good decisions without first facing the hard facts.

Episode 103 (Grow and Lead)

Welcome to this episode where we talk about (THE LEADERSHIP HANDBOOK) written by John C. Maxwell. The book provides important lessons and concepts for leaders to be successful and effective.

The seventh lesson of the book is (Get into your strength zone and stay there). The important points under this lesson are the following:

- If you are a young leader and still unsure where your strengths lie, don not be disappointed. Be patient and keep trying to discover them.

-Success is knowing your purpose in life, growing to your fullest potential, and planting seeds that benefit others.

- Improvement is always linked to ability. The greater your natural ability, the greater your potential for improvement.

- You cannot change the world by offering nothing but scraps or performing at middle level. Your best self is the only thing that adds value and elevates others.

- People who realize their potential spend less time wondering: What am I doing right? And more time wondering: What am I doing well?

- Your strengths will catch the attention of others and attract them to you. If others consistently praise you in a particular area, start developing it.

- The best leaders are able to recognize the potential and limitations of others, as well as the ability to assign their followers to the positions where they will perform at their best.

- The more people know how well they fit into the team, the more they will want to make the most of that harmony and maximize their contribution. 

- Working on a weakness within your strength zone will always provide better results than working on a strength within your weakness zone.
