Advance 2008: Andy Andrews and John C. Maxwell

Andy Andrews

• read 200 biographies, found the commonality, wrote a book on 7 principles he found
• always be grateful, even in the worst time there can be hope
• smile while you talk
• expect great things from yourself and others
• because everything you do impacts others (butterfly effect)

John C. Maxwell

• the best leaders are listeners
• leaders listen, learn, then lead
• when we listen, problems that could be big probably aren’t
• the successful leader puts the right people in the right place
• the successful person puts himself in the right place
• “don’t send your ducks to eagle school”
• 1) they will get frustrated
• 2) the eagles get frustrated
• 3) you will frustrate yourself
• if you are in the wrong position, you won’t be successful
• don’t manage your time, manage your life
