John Maxwell

Leadership gurus all agree that ”Leadership is Influence”. If we are leading and no one is following then we are merely taking a walk.

I am sure there are other Professors and Lecturers of leadership throughout the world but what kind of followership do they have. Do you know that John Maxwell has sold over 16 million books and his organization has trained over 2 million people. Talk about influence.

He recently put this prayer together for his 60th birthday. Really powerful.

Lord, I would like to be known as
available, rather than a hard worker,
compassionate, more than competent,
content, not driven,
generous, instead of rich,
gentle, over being powerful,
a good listener, more than a great communicator,
loving, verses quick or bright,
reliable, not famous,
sacrificial, instead of successful,
self-controlled, rather than exciting,
thoughtful, more than gifted.
I want to be a “foot-washer.”
Amen.
