difference. ~ John C Maxwell

not the chances they took that failed. ~ John C Maxwell

What others have to say to you really must remain more important than what you have to say to them. Why? Because the higher leaders rise, the farther they get from the front lines, and the more they have to depend on what others tell them to know what's really going on.

I think if you truly understand the meaning of mentoring,
you understand it as important as parenting; in fact, it is just like
parenting. As my father often said, “there is nothing you know that you haven't
learned from someone else.” Everything in the world has been passed down. Every
piece of knowledge is something that has already been shared by someone else.
If you understand it as I do, mentoring becomes your true legacy. It is the
greatest inheritance you can give to others. It is why you get up every day- to
teach and be taught. ~John Wooden

Consistency)

Be a rancher, not just a shepherd. He challenged me
to not just feed the sheep I had, but to build and make room to reach other
sheep. ~Jerry Falwell (Faith)
Become your mentee’s champion. He was more than a
mentor; he was a sponsor who put his reputation on the line for me so I could
take risks and live outside the box. ~ Tom Phillippe (Humility)
Carry the baton with excellence. He asked me to be a
successor and handed the leadership baton to me for the organization he founded
and led for 31 years. I worked to carry it out with excellence for 14 years and
then handed it off to the next leader. ~Orval Butcher (Joy)
“Who luck” is the best luck a person can have. Chuck
introduced me to the leaders much bigger and better than me, and they accepted

me from a distance through his book, Spiritual Leadership, which lit my
fire to lead; I was able to meet him 20 years later to express my gratitude. ~J.
Oswald Sanders (Fulfillment)
The gift is greater than the person. He taught me that I should be grateful for the amazing gifts God gave me, but to remember that I'm flawed, not amazing; that awareness grounded me. ~Fred Smith (Perspective)
Develop different streams of income. A
talented businessman, he instructed me to create passive income that would work

Mentorship is both cult and talk. The catching part of
mentorship is totally dependent upon the credibility of the person mentoring you.
~John C. Maxwell
The underlying purpose of mentoring is not for people to act
differently but rather to become different. ~ Dale Bronner

to help a person become a better version of himself. ~John Wooden
Mentoring is discipling another person. It involves
discerning where they are, knowing where they are supposed to go, and giving
them what they need to get there. ~John C. Maxwell
Good mentors don't hesitate to have difficult conversations
with the people they mentor. They deal with the “elephants” in the room even
when others won't. ~John C. Maxwell
The greater an individual’s leadership ability, the greater
the success or impact he or she can make ~John C. Maxwell
The only thing limiting the future of any organization is
the number of good leaders it develops. ~John C. Maxwell
I strive to model the six C's of of reproducing a culture.
You should too.
·
CHARACTER - BE IT. Everything starts with
strong character. That's not something you can just talk about; it's something
that has to be at the core of who you are. You have to live it every day. You
must maintain integrity, treat others with respect, desire the best for people,
and go out of your way to help them.
·
CLARITY - SHOW IT. You have to spend time
developing leaders yourself. You need to be personally involved, and your team
needs to see you doing it so that you understand how it's done and how
important it is.
·
COMMUNICATION - SAY IT. You have to
constantly talk about leadership development, so it becomes part of the common
language in everyday conversation.
·
CONTRIBUTION - OWN IT. If you're the
leader the buck stops with you. You need to own your responsibility for
developing leaders, and others will too. And when others step up and say, “I'll
own this,” the entire team gets stronger.
·
CONSISTENTLY - DO IT. The development of
leaders is never once and done. Is something that needs cultivating every day.
Why? Because the need for more and better leaders never ends.
·
CELEBRATION - EMBRACE IT. When the
development of leaders is recognized, rewarded, and celebrated continually, it
becomes elevated in the organization and woven into the culture. Every leader
aspires to become part of it and join in.
~John C. Maxwell
Nothing is easier than saying words. Nothing is harder than
living them, day after day. What you promised today must be renewed and
re-decided tomorrow and each day that stretches out before you. ~Arthur Gordon
David Ogilvy, founder of the giant advertising agency Ogilvy
and Mather, used to give each new manager in his organization a Russian doll.
The doll contained five progressively smaller dolls. A message inside the
smallest one read: “If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we
shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger
than we are, Ogilvy and Mather will become a company of giants.” Commit to
finding, hiring, and developing giants. ~Dennis Waitley
Winning companies win because they have good leaders who
nurture the development of other leaders at all levels of the organization. ~Noel
Tichy
Every day every leader you work with should ask, “Am I using
my gifts for myself or others?” ~John C. Maxwell
When you begin developing leaders, the most important thing
you can do is let them know what you're thinking and why. ~John C. Maxwell
The 80/ 20 rule:
·
20% of the workers produce 80% of the product
·
20% of the Salesforce close 80% of the sales
·
20% of the products return 80% of the revenue
·
20% of the population possesses 80% of the
wealth
·
20% of the teams in the league win 80% of the

Accumulative advantage: what begins as a small advantage
gets bigger over time. ~James Clear
Intentional living turns good intentions into good actions.
~John C. Maxwell
If the vision is right, the right leaders will show up.
~John C. Maxwell
A good leader will always have those around him who are
better at particular task than he is. This is the hallmark of leadership. Never
be afraid to hire or manage people who are better at certain jobs than you are.
They can only make your organization stronger. ~John C. Maxwell
I am aware that a man of real merit is never seen in so favorable
a light as seen through the medium of adversity. The clouds that surround him
are shades that set off his good qualities. ~Alexander Hamilton
A study of more than 12,000 adults in the United States and
Germany revealed that the character strengths of love, hope, curiosity, zest,
and (particularly) gratitude were linked to high life satisfaction. ~Caslen,
Matthews
· wisdom and knowledge (creativity, curiosity, open mindedness, love of learning, perspective)
· courage (bravery, persistence, integrity, zest)
· justice (teamwork, fairness, leadership)
· humanity (capacity to the love, kindness, social intelligence)
· temperance (forgiveness, humility, prudence, self- regulation)
· transcendence (appreciation of beauty, gratitude, hope/optimism, humor, spirituality).
We each have a unique profile of
character strengths. This helps define who we are as individuals.
I learned that courage was not the
absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not
feel afraid, that he who conquers that fear. ~Nelson Mandela
Authority without wisdom is like a
heavy axe without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish. ~Anne Bradstreet
Kindness in words creates
confidence. Kindness in thinking promotes profoundness. Kindness in giving
creates love. ~Lao-Tzu
One of the most powerful strengths
of the heart is the capacity to give and receive thanks in life. The greatest
thing about gratitude is that practicing it may bring greater positive benefits
for you than it does for the recipient of thanks. ~Caslen, Matthews
I came to believe that a leader
isn't good because they are right; they're good because they're willing to
learn and to trust. ~ Stanley McChrystal
Culture does not change because we
desire to change it. Culture changes when the organization is transformed; the
culture reflects the realities of people working together every day. ~ Francis Hesselbein,
former CEO of the Girl Scouts of the USA
Patrick Sweeney, retired from the
army and now the director of Wake Forest universities allegiances Center for
leadership and character, created a conceptual model that captures how high-
performing organizations maintain excellence in the face of purple personal
turbulence and curator failures. The individual- relationship- organization-
contacts (I Roc) model describes the complex relationships are nine
organizations, individuals, and the context in which they operate, and how
these relationships influence trust and sustain high performance. The following
chart summarizes the IR OC model.

Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is
created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed
to develop good character. ~Heracleitus
That which does not kill us only makes us stronger. ~
Frederick Nitschke
· Resilience-this occurs when, following a period of adversity, a person's adjustment returns to baseline.
· Disorder-this occurs when adversity results in a negative change in adjustment, and the individual does not recover over time.
· Invulnerability-this occurs when the person endures the adverse event with no apparent change.
· Growth-this occurs when a person becomes stronger emotionally, builds better social relationships, or develops stronger character strengths as a result of a challenging experience. ~Caslen, Matthews
And ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. ~ Benjamin
Franklin
Organizational hazards to character:
1.
Consumer need and suitability are not guiding
product lifestyle practices. In simple terms this means that organizations
that place sales over actual customer needs are prone to misconduct. The
university that is more concerned with new buildings or winning sports
championships than with the education of the students is an example.
2.
Failing to have a balanced scorecard for your
human resource decisions. This means that important personnel decisions
that are driven by short-term or narrow performance indicators result in
misconduct.
3.
Individuals and leadership are not
responsible or held to account for misconduct.
4.
Failing to identify and manage conflicts of
interest. There must be outside checks and balances to guard against
misconduct.
5.
Complex, disconnected, or growth-at-all-cost
business models. Complexity breeds confusion, which can be followed by a
focus on the wrong goals and objectives. A bigger is better philosophy enables
focusing on short term gains, achieved at any cost including compromise of
character, over long term success.
6.
Manual and complicated processes and
procedures. Making the job too hard leads to shortcuts. Excessive
bureaucracy causes people to take shortcuts that may compromise their ethics.
7.
Weak systems for monitoring and surveillance.
Leaders must ensure that fair and objective systems are in place to track
adherence to ethical guidelines. Failure to do so allows the perception that
unethical actions will go undetected and unpunished.
8.
Disparate subcultures or a problematic
prevailing culture. Organizations may foster positive character, such as
Johnson and Johnson, or allow unprincipled behavior to be the norm, such as the
Army rugby team. Leaders must take positive and constant action to establish
and maintain a positive organizational climate. This may be the most important
thing a leader does. Such a strong and positive culture may migrate against
other risk factors in the Character Risk Model. ~ An article by the Deloitte Center
for Regulatory Strategy
Competing at the highest level is not about winning. It's
about preparation, courage, understanding and nurturing people, and heart.
Winning is the result. ~Joe Torre
An example of a personal creed taken from Johnson and
Johnson's credo and the creed of the West Point Corps of Cadets:
As a leader of our organization, I am first committed to our
clients and customers, to provide them with a high- quality, reasonably priced
product that is safe and secure, and that is the best in the market.
My next responsibility is to our employees, who work with us
throughout our entire organization. All are valued members, who will work in a
safe and secure environment and will find fulfillment in their jobs. I will
ensure their work environment is supportive to their imagination, creativity,
innovation, and growth. I will empower and develop them to the limits of their
potential, ensure that they have great opportunities for advancement and
satisfaction, and ensure their compensation is competitive with the best in the
nation. I'm committed to their development as lifelong employees and future
leaders of our organization.
My organization is emboldened by the values of loyalty,
duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal moral courage.
These are the values that are embraced and that drive everything I do, both
with my organization and in my life. I am a man or woman of great integrity,
who will live a private life with the same values I will live in my public
life. I will live these values not only at work, but also at home and in
everything I do.
I am responsible to be a strong partner with my community,
supporting my local government and my local organizations, and ensuring that I
am a good citizen who supports good works, and charities, and my fair share of
taxes. I will be a good steward of the environment I am privileged to use.
I will serve our clients and our customers, maintaining the
honor of our organization, living above the common level of life, having the
courage to choose the harder right over the easier wrong. I will live both my
public life and my private life with honor and integrity.
I am a member of an organization of excellence and will
pursue excellence in our product, and our customers, and our employees, and in
all we do.
Scripture doesn't presume to tell fairy tales. It's a book
about real life. ~Charles R. Swindoll
