Episode 110 (Grow and Lead)

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

The fourteenth lesson is (Keep learning to keep leading). The important points under this lesson are the following:

Investing in yourself first might seem selfish to some around you, and they might even criticize you for it, but if they do, they don't truly understand how growth happens. 

- You can't lead others until you lead yourself first; you can only do this if you invest in yourself first. 

- The moment you stop learning is the moment you stop leading. 

- If you create a growth environment, not only the people in your organization will grow and improve, but talented individuals will also come knocking, eager to join your team. 

- The secret to success lies in those around you; people's attitudes and actions influence one another.

- Surrounding yourself with those who are better than us allows us to expand and improve ourselves, and while this isn't always comfortable, it's always beneficial.

- Great people seek to draw out the greatness in others. Small people will try to hold you back with the same limitations they have imposed on themselves.

Episode 109 (Grow and Lead)

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

The thirteenth lesson of the book is (Do not manage your time, manage your life). The important points under this lesson are the following:

- Nothing distinguishes effective managers more than their caring and loving time

- People waste their time when they do things that bring them little or no positive return. 

- Time is the most precious currency in your life. You alone decide how to spend it. Beware of letting others spend it for you.

- Leaders must look further ahead than others in the organization. If leaders wait for a crisis to happen before reacting, the organization and its employees will suffer.

- Training, mentoring, and guidance can make a huge difference in people productivity during their time. 

- The only thing worse than training employees and losing them is not training them and retaining them

- When you have a strong sense of purpose, enjoy life and be aware of how short it is.

- Improving your abilities in your top priority areas is always a good investment in yourself that will pay off in the long run.
