I wish to share with you the lessons that I have learned from John C. Maxwell's Maximize Your Day: 365 Days of Insight to Develop the Leader within You (2007).
St. Francis of Assissi said, "Start doing what is necessary; then do what is possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible." All good leadership begins where you are. It was Napoleon who said, "The only conquests which are permanent and leave no regrets are our conquests over ourselves." The small responsibilities you have before you now comprise the first great leadership conquest you must make. Don't try to conquer the world until you've taken care of things in your own backyard.
