John Maxwell Live in Manila
I was fortunate to be sent by our company as a delegate to John Maxwell’s Building REAL Leaders leadership summit at the Edsa Shangri-La hotel. The best-selling author and motivational speaker once again comes to Manila to give practical leadership tips and ideas to hundreds of the Philippine’s leaders from various companies.
I was wowed with John Maxwell’s presence and energy. No wonder his work has swept leaders across the globe off their feet. Every minute of the seminar was enlightening and energizing and I wanted to share some of the tips I learned from this leadership guru.
- People without passion are already dead… they just haven’t made it official yet.
- Myth: If you believe it, you can achieve it. Attitude cannot overcome incompetence.
- Successful people pay a price to be successful.
- Successful people make good decisions early in life and manage those decision for the rest of their lives.
- It is a choice to get along with people, to build and sustain relationships. Successful people are highly relational.
- If its lonely at the top then you are doing something wrong. Loneliness is not a positional issue, it is a personality issue.
- If you get kicked in the rear, it is because you are out front.
- Lead people from where they are not from where you are.
- Those who are closest to you determine your success.
- There is no such thing as time management. You need to manage your life and your priorities correctly to make the most out of time.
- We teach what we know and we produce what we are.
- Your ability to lead determines your potential to succeed. The law of the lid.
- When things start to go well, momentum kicks in. Momentum is the greatest exaggerator. When things are not going right, that is the time to take a vacation.

Oh WOW I didn’t know he was even here! My boss is a HUGE fan of his, literally shoving his books down our (proverbial) throats. Is “Developing Your Influence…” different from the first 360-Degree Leader book? Cos, I have it on my Audible queue; if it’s not in audio, I won’t touch it. hahahah
Jeff - I also did not know until I was asked if I wanted to go. The books you mentioned are different but there could be similarities as he says the 360 degree leader is like “the best of..” of his teachings. Also fyi - he re-wrote the 17 of the 21 laws of leadership.
John Maxwell really was superb! Every minute of the Leadership Summit was worth the fee. Hehe! =)
Thanks for the key points… I also wrote some of them but as I browsed thru your notes, I think I missed some. Thanks thanks! =)
Espie - Your welcome and thanks for visiting my site.
John Maxwell rocks!
Success pays a price… sad but true.
pinoypassenger - Yep it is but sometimes you just have to weigh everything and see whether the price is worth the success. Cheers!
