John Calvin Maxwell is an American pastor, author, and speaker who have written numerous books, most commonly focusing on spiritual leadership. His most famous book, known as Kingdom Prologue, was released in 1986 and has sold millions of copies worldwide. Other popular titles include The 21 Unforgettable Qualities of Leaders and The 21 Commandments of God’s People.
In his books, Maxwell has highlighted many qualities that are needed to become a good leader. He has said that leaders must first be honest in their desires and motivations, then they must lead by example. They must develop respect for themselves and others and develop a sense of urgency. These qualities are important because they contribute to the will of God and help lead others to achieve great success.
Many people question how to lead by example. Some wonder if it’s possible to motivate others to act the way you want them to without getting into a situation where you might actually get into trouble. Others struggle to understand what an “example” is. What exactly does it mean to see something accomplished?
Unfortunately, many people confuse a leadership style with a leader. A leader may be called a leader but that doesn’t necessarily mean he is leading others. A leader may lead by example or inspire others to follow in his footsteps. The only thing that separates a leader from a leader is the will to make a difference. It could be a difficult path to walk, but it is one worth walking.
Unfortunately, many individuals are led down a path that leads them down the wrong path. This could be because of lack of education, exposure to negative influences, and other factors. John Calvin Maxwell has written several books that show people how to break through the barriers of failure. By reading his books and applying the information therein, many people have overcome problems and built successful businesses, organizations, and families.
His work shows how to take small steps to build huge results. Many people have reached personal success after applying his teachings. Even though those who have read his books are unlikely to become wealthy or experience any type of massive success, those who do read his books and apply the information therein will find themselves with a sense of empowerment.
John Calvin Maxwell believes that leaders are born and not made. He believes that some leaders who have experienced success before being able to harness their natural abilities to succeed in new and unique ways. One of the things that Maxwell teaches is how to get others to follow you. It seems that everyone needs a leader.
People have said that the power of success is in the hands of few. The world would be a difficult place to live if every person was only capable of reaching success in one area. There is more to leadership than acquiring great wealth or power. It also involves getting others to follow you. As a result, many find that they have found personal and professional success because they were able to bring something unique to the table and make it happen.
Maxwell’s work appears to focus on creating leaders by helping people identify what it is that they want from life. By assisting them in identifying that desire, they can then go out and create the ability to manifest that desire successfully. The way to success is not always straight forward. It is filled with pitfalls and dead ends. Maxwell does describe the process of finding the road to success as one that is worth traveling. Yet, those who put their trust and faith into the program end up discovering that the road to success is one that everyone can travel.
It is said that there are ten million ways to start a business. Maxwell offers a solution to that problem. By showing others how to begin facing that obstacle, they can then begin to overcome it themselves. This program offers support for those who are willing to begin taking action toward their goals. The knowledge that success is within reach helps to remove the feeling of discouragement and allows those who desire it to move onward without fear of failure.
Success is a universal goal. It can be achieved by individuals regardless of their background or education. For some it is found through family inheritance or through professional success. For others it is discovered during failed business ventures or failed romantic relationships.
For each of us there is only a small list of individuals who have experienced success that we can compare ourselves to. The great thing about John Calvin Maxwell’s work is that he shares what he has learned with others. He is not interested in sensationalism but in the understanding that success is a possibility to all of us.
