Kate’s 2 cents: Maxwell John C Leader Within You  and No Such Thing As Business Ethics

(Career) “Developing the leader within you 2.0”

By John C. Maxwell

   As I listened to John C. Maxwell read his own book, I started to jot down concepts I thought I’d be able to apply to the organizations in which I’m a member. Things such as:

–The world becomes a better place with better leaders.

–Better leadership will add to your effectiveness; subtract from your weaknesses; divide your workload; and multiply your impact.

–When opportunity comes, it’s too late to prepare.

There have been meetings of only a moment, which have left impressions for life for eternity.

–Leadership is communication, recognition, and influence.

–If you don’t believe the messenger, you won’t believe the message.

–priortize your time to be more productive.

–The 20%/80% rule of thumb: 20% of the people on the team get 80% of the work done and 20% of the people at a picnic will eat 80% of the food.

   Then, I realized that I was wasting my time  almost re-writing the book, when it would be more efficient to share with you the Library of Congress description of the two Maxwell’s books that I read.

   Author of Running with the Giants presents a guide to developing yourself into a transformational leader. Topics covered include defining leadership, identifying priorities, developing character, creating positive change, problem solving, serving people, establishing self-discipline, and recognizing areas for personal growth.

   I also read: “There’s no such thing as business ethics: there’s only one rule for making decisions”

By John C. Maxwell

   Leadership expert and author of Running with the Giants explains how the Golden Rule–“do unto others”–can be applied to business to build morale, increase productivity, and encourage teamwork. Uses real-life ethical dilemmas and in-depth discussion questions to demonstrate the benefits of following this universal guideline.

Kate’s 2¢:

“Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to  seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.”

   –John Keats
