John Maxwell’s Leading in Tough Times is a great resource for leaders because every leader is going to face challenges! You can check out my full book review here.
As he does in all of his books, John shares insights from other authors that help add some impact to the ideas he is sharing. I have already shared some quotes from this book, but here are some of the notable quotes that John shared in Leading in Tough Times.
“Once we accept the fact that life is hard, we begin to grow. We begin to understand that every problem is also an opportunity. … We use [those problems] as a means of rising to the occasion.” —Hal Urban
“A mistake simply shows you something you didn’t know. Once you make the mistake, then you know it.” —Kim Kiyosaki
“The basic role of a leader is to foster mutual respect and build a complementary team where each strength is made productive and each weakness is made irrelevant.” —Stephen R. Covey
“Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them?” —M. Scott Peck
“When you step into a turnaround situation, you can safely assume four things: Morale is low, fear is high, the good people are halfway out the door, and the slackers are hiding.” —Nina DiSesa
“Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person they are almost indistinguishable.” —David W. Augsburger
