Here is the last part of John Maxwell speaking on ‘The Leader’s Greatest Return’ (soon to be a book out in January 2010), at the ‘Live to Lead’ Conference (a live stream program) in Columbia, SC.
In Part 3, I look forward to share with you, more chapters from John’s new book that he shared with us; what I learned about leadership, and especially coaching individuals and teams, which is my expertise as well. Let’s continue!
Here are a few more of John Maxwell’s presentation of the chapters of the new book, The Leader’s Greatest Return.
Chapter 3: Understanding Leaders — Connect with them Before You Lead Them
Connect with them — on a heart level too — let them know they are a person of value
Give them direction — let them ask you questions, and you ask them questions to promote even more questions from them
Chapter 4: Motivating Leaders — Encourage them to Give Their Best
Big Hint / Idea from Alysia :
This is a great idea from John: BEST — when working with Leaders
Believe in them — take a personal interest
Encourage them — while you are working / coaching them
Show them — which way to go / show them processes / your experience
Train them — I suggest ask them to ‘teach back ‘ to you what they in the training you gave them
You’ll have to get the book in January to get the ‘guts’ of the other chapters, but here is a hint of what he covers:
Chapter 5: Equipping Leaders — Train Them to be Great at Their Job
Chapter 6: Empowering Leaders — Release them to reach their potential
Chapter 7: Positioning Leaders — Team them up to Multiply Their Talent
Chapter 8: Mentoring Leaders — Coach them to the Next Level
Chapter 9: Reproducing Leaders: Show them How to Develop Others
Chapter 10: Compounding Leaders — Receive the High Return of Developing Leaders
