John C Maxwell and Leadershifts

"Leadershift: The 11 Essential Changes Every Leader Must Embrace"


I want to thank @harpercollinsleadership and #netgalley for the draft and final product and allowing me to be a part of the launch team. I preordered my copy so now I will have one to share. What I love about John Maxwell is his passion for people. He gets up in the morning thinking ‘how can I add value to someone today”. This book does that in spades.


#leadershiftbook
Leadershift is relevant to the new generation who require authentic communication before they will follow someone. They want simple not complicated. Of course most of us want simple right.  One thing he talks about is making plans. Have you ever made a really good plan towards to reach a goal but something doesn’t work. It doesn’t mean that it was the wrong goal it just means your plan is not working. Evaluate your failures “Leaders who cling to inflexibility in a plan stifle creativity and miss opportunities to be creative.” Test your ideas. Be creative and take two ideas put them together and test them. If they don’t work you will learn to make a shift to make a difference. 
 I love this                                  ! 


I am reminded once again to evaluate my failures so that my creativity is not stifled. As an entrepreneur in the coaching world I must be authentic. It is what sets me apart. In my journey to adding value to people I have hit a wall many times sometimes it is as simple as making it more about me than other people. I know I will make many more. I will just get up,be humble, shift and fail forward. I am learning how to grow into different zones to be more productive and more value to people. This book is helping with that. I am a Certified John Maxwell coach and I am always learning something new. You get a very good look about who he is and how he has made mistakes and how he has learned to make small shifts that changed his trajectory. Don’t fall in the love with the plan. Learn how to overcome your failures. Learn how to lead the next generation. Learn to shift your thinking. Begin this by reading his book. Make sure you have markers because there are so many golden nuggets inside that put together will make you more successful in all the zones of your life.
