Welcome to this new episode where we talk about (LEADER SHIFT) book written by John C. Maxwell. The book objective is to help leaders to adapt, grow and make intentional changes in their leadership approach to remain effective in constantly changing world.
The first shift required from the leader as per the book is (Focus Shift - From Soloist to Conductor). The important points under this item are the following:
- You can be a successful individual on your own, but not a successful leader.
- You can have everything you want in life if you only help enough people to get everything they want.
- People who work together have limitless possibilities. They can work together to do something greater than themselves.
- If you're at the top alone, it means you've climbed ahead of your followers and left them behind. If you've reached the peaks of success alone, you're not a leader.
- Good leaders see more than others and see before others do. Acting quickly and decisively is in their DNA.
- When people lead without taking the time or effort to understand those they follow, the results can be either tragic or farcical.
- Leadership is about helping people, adding value to their lives, and using influence to improve their communities.
- Good leaders shift from being self-centered to being others-centered.
- People remember those who have added value to them and are especially grateful to those who helped them first.
- Don't hesitate to help someone else by planting positive seeds in their life. Add value as early as you can and whenever you can.
