Four Benefits of Pursuing Your Potential by John C. Maxwell (Here’s a short excerpt from an article by best-selling author and leadership expert John C. Maxwell. Enjoy!) • Higher self-esteem. People who are constantly learning and growing have a good self-image. • Willingness to change and risk.

Show me a person who doesn’t change, who doesn’t risk, and I’ll show you a person who’s not growing. • Passion increases. When we begin to grow personally, our passion for life and learning begins to increase proportionately. • Lifting the lid for others. What a leader does determines what everybody else is going to do. The people don’t pass the leader. An organization’s growth doesn’t outpace the leader’s progress. As you lift the lid for yourself, you lift the lid for others.
