Learnings from John C Maxwell

After last week's share, here is part 2/2

• Debrief: What did you love? What did you learn?

• Prepare (better than anyone) - Do - Reflect (How do you take good stuff + make it better) - Extract (L/C+10%) - Apply (Intentional Personal Growth)

• Recruit amazingly well. Know what you and what they are looking for. Write it out.
  All is well, that starts well.

• Never do business alone.

• John Woden story: find their spot: watch shots for a couple of weeks, circle their spot, set up plays so they get their shot away from that spot.

• Woden - 1sts v 2nds. Plays 1st out of position in opening practice session and 1sts always lost. Message is to get people playing in their best positions - using their strengths in a system.

• 1/2 time - the coach leaves his players in the changing room with 3 flips headed: good, poorly, change. The palayers write up what is good, poor and what needs to change in 2nd 1/2. The coach comes in and makes a few comments. The point being you can't lead/coach until you find where the players (your team) are.

• Q: How do I make my team better everyday. A: I make myself better everyday.
  (Today matters).

• Every meeting needs a clear purpose: why get together just to get together?

• Managers lead everyone the same, leaders lead everyone differently.

• Just Today card: A simple list of your daily must do’s - simple commitments. Read it everyday for a year. Live it 'just for today.’ Weeks in, compound effect will be amazing.

• Decision making over-rated, decision management under-rated.

• Smart thinking over-rated, sustained thinking under-rated.

• What are you doing today with the decision you made yesterday?

• Process for learning by doing:
  Do it yourself, do it well I do it, you are with me You do it, I am with you You do it
  You do it someone is with you (this step is where the magic happens)

• Ducks aren't eagles! 🦅

• Loving what you do makes you contagious - it draws people in.

• Leadership is all ‘visual’.

• Say what you want from others - 3 things. Are you those 3 things? We attract who we are, not what we want.

• Average people want you to stay average.
