“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” (John C. Maxwell)
Growing people is the key to growing your success.
The leadership guru John C. Maxwell says, “The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership” and “true success comes only when every generation continues to develop the next generation.”
In 360 Degree Leader, Maxwell says, “Great leaders don’t use people so they can win. They lead people so they can all lead together. If that is truly your motivation, you can become the kind of person that people want to follow – whether they are beside, above, or below you in the organizational hierarchy.”
Maxwell makes people’s development a priority.
To avoid spreading himself too thin, he focuses 80 percent of his time developing only the top 20 percent of the people around him.
Maxwell goes on to say, “your time is limited, and it makes more sense to help a few learn how to fly and reach their potential rather than show a big group only enough to whet their appetite.”
Good words and thoughts to remember today as we work with people … and ultimately, win with people!
