Thanks for the insight sir

Wonderful post and very timely and powerful to motivate a soul to life wow. God bless you sir

Thanks John, alwsus refreshing to hear reinforcing words centered on respect. Remindswrs SWOT focus Stregths represent 35% Opportunities 50% Weaknesses 10% Character building will introduce you to John’s mentor, John Wooden’s Success Pyramid. Threats represent 5% usually relates yourself and the lack of applying yourself. Thanks again John. Leader shift is on order.

Good morning John,

Power want to learn more… Im. A sinlge parent with 5 kids… How will become successfull please help me… Im in my dxn journey now

Great encouragement to achieve creadìbility in leadership .Thank you John !

It’s a very practical and simple advice to follow. I’d like to pass on this advice to my sons: one of them is the CEO of a startup and the other is a ladder climber in a medium size company.

Powerful and impactful!

Inspiring blog! I especially love the last paragraph about character and integrity.

Such a pleasure to read this good advice

Wow very powerful! That’s what I’m trying to do now is to help employees be successful by starting with the small opportunities. Credibility and desire to be successful matters a lot. You have to want something bad enough to put the effort into. Just because you have been in a position a long time does not guarantee promotion. You have to show accomplishments and never ever feel that you are entitled.

Make the best of where you are and you will become the best.

Cannot argue with those principles.

Awesome advise. I hope to pass this on to many in my church. Some of this parallels Bruce Wilkerson’s book Secrets of the Vine.

Thanks,very nice….

I made some mistakes growing up as a young employee, I didn’t build my credibility well, got to the top ten of my industry, suddenly I had a fall.
What should I do to rise again?

This so wonderful please sent more, personally I will do the daily improvements on my character through prayer

Thank you for this powerful article! Transitioning from a career in Mental Health/Corrections I will be more intentional on the steps above to began creating credibility beyond the fence.

Establishing strong relationships through connecting with people in harmony with my purpose will allow me to impact lives I may never meet physically.

Again, thank you for paving the way for others to leave valued legacies!

Thank you so much for this blog. It’s too much credibility for me to take off my improvement on every step of my life.

Thank you very much. I want things to achieve in one go and don’t know exactly what is the first move on how to achieve it. After reading this credibility and integrity it helps realised that take a small steps and build a strength and confidence in me to do extra mile. Thank you John and your team for sharing . Godspeed!

Thanks very much and really appreciate you teaching on leadership and other aspect you have been mentoring me for two years now, the advice we’ll taken

I’m learning so much from you John!

This is my note to say thank you!

John is a person who gives credible great advice. His seasoned writings only leave the reader desiring for more. Dear Max, you may have no idea how much your resources (books, articles, audio and video tapes) have personally brought out the giant that was sleeping inside of me. I have taken after you and have already began a series of writings. My first book -Grow to Go is complete awaiting publishing. You have helped me also to unlock my purpose something i have struggled with for the past 37 years. Thanks a Million

I’m new to being supervisor and have no experience but would like to be a good leader were would I start?

This post had truly impacted me with gentle reminders toward significance. It also provides a resourceful shield to practice when starting up your own business. Thanks Mr. Maxwell. Jesus Bless you for your posts. As a young man I cherish these nuggets. Blessings!

Thanks for sharing this. It helps me check what I am doing currently in line with building credibility. Am I really climbing the ladder or I’m scattering my efforts.

Thank you for the message. Very educative! It is an eye-opener to growth and success.

Great message, reminded me of the important lessons on personal development. Many Thanks

Great Ioved it

Judge by and with THE Eternal Rule Book and all will be well
Numbers 6:24-26

I remember going on a walk with my son, over 16 years ago, and giving him the same advice you gave your nephew. Soon after I drove him to college, helped him move into the athletic dorm and left him with plenty of time to get to his first team meeting. Well he and his roommates showed up right before the meeting started. As they walked in the rest of the team were all there and one of the coaches said I’ll see you gentlemen on the track tomorrow morning at 6.

Great insights, thank you so much for this wonderful message. I will endeavor to seize these opportunities and also work on building my relationships because am not doing so well in this area. Thank you once again for living an impactful life.

God bless you and your family abundantly!

John. – a great reminder of our long term objective- more cred more ability to help others!
Ps you continue to be a great resource for inspiration and learning- thank you!

I very much appreciated this today. I tend to magnify my weaknesses instead of working in my strengths. This served as a wonderful reminder of where I should be working. Personal development has been so crucial to my development as a leader. I’m not yet where I want to be but I’m on my way. I could not be a leader without credibility. People will only work with people they trust. I bend over backwards to protect this. So appreciate your helpful insights.

I really felt I got something out of this and look forward to more!
Thank you

John, thanks for the message. You are always insightful and systematic in helping others to navigate the complexity of leadership. I enjoy reading your messages.

God bless!

Thank you John!
This is RECIPI for THRU SUCCESS! I believe applying this, acting on make anyone touch there dreams, visions and didaiers. Doing all that you will see All you want from the top of your ladder and helping others around you to be on ther TOO TO!
GOD BLESS AND ALL GLORY TO GOD!
Thank you John! You’re Blessed and you’re the blessing for All around the glob?

This is great advice! Thank you!

Kirk–congratulations on becoming a supervisor! That’s awesome! The best framework for developing yourself as a good leader is the 5 Levels of Leadership.

Level 1–This is where you are. You’ve earned a position of leadership. Do everything you can to invest in yourself and learn in your new role. But as you do that, remember to work on…
Level 2–This developing relationships with the people on your team. Get to know each person–their values, their responsibilities, their skills and their dreams. The more you know your people, the more intelligently you can lead them.
Level 3–This is producing. You’re responsible for generating results, so you look for ways to get your team a quick win and build momentum. Don’t be afraid to make changes that will increase your productivity because leaders are measured by results.
Level 4–This is reproducing. As you’re building relationships with your team, keep your eyes open for people who have potential. They’ll be people who share your values, work hard with and for the team, produce great results, and are eager to learn.
Level 5–This is moral authority. You earn respect from people because you consistently build relationships, produce results, and develop leaders who multiply your influence and improve the overall performance of the organization.

You can learn more about the 5 Levels here or by reading John’s book, “Developing the Leader Within You 2.0”. Thanks for your comment, and all the best to you as you step into greater influence as a leader!

Thank you Mr. Maxwell! What a powerful, inspiring and relevant message that really hit home! How important is knowing who you are, no matter what others do to shake or perhaps drop the ladder you are climbing?

Wow! I really needed this. Thanks so much for the insights. God bless you

Powerful perspective.

Thanks John for all this great info. I only wish I’d know years ago what I’ve been learning the past year or so from your teachings.

Your messages have done so much in my life, thanks so much for this piece of advice! God bless you and your team.

Thank you Sir for the work you have done for all around the world. I have read it and it is new idea that you have given to me thank you Very much sir.

Apt, lots of lessons learned. Thanks for sharing

Very Educative

This is so so enriching. I’m grateful for your mentorship. More Grace to you.

Dr Maxwell

Thank you for hosting this blog.

I once attended a presentation of yours in South Africa, and was inspired instantly (that was somewhere before 2004). I also did your Million Leaders Mandate training in 2006-2007.

My husband (since 2004) bought me your Leadership Bible in 2006 with the birth of our firstborn.

I’m a trained teacher, believing that God purposed me to be exactly that – influencing children to discover their life purpose and to become the best version God created them to be.

I please want to share in the wisdom you share on your blog.

Love
