Welcome to this new 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 twenty second lesson is (For everything you gain, there is something you give up). The important points under this lesson are:
- The biggest obstacle leaders face can be their own personal achievements. The greatest harm to tomorrow's success is today's success.
- By avoiding risk, we actually jeopardize what is most important in life: growth, reaching our full potential, and making a genuine contribution to a common goal.
- The great leaders of history were great not for what they possessed or acquired, but for what they dedicated their lives to achieving. They made a difference.
- If you study the lives of great men and women, you will find that they were all determined toward one very important goal.
- Leaders cannot soar on the wings of mediocrity. If something is worth doing, give it your all or don't do it at all.
- Leaders who build followers add to what they can accomplish. Leaders who develop leaders multiply their own capabilities.
- A leader's first responsibility is to define the truth, and their last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.
- One of the greatest values of guidance is the ability to foresee what others cannot see and help them navigate the path to their destination.
