THE JOHN MAXWELL LEADERSHIP SUMMIT VIDEO BROADCAST PROGRAM RATIONALE As a leader, you are the beginning of a chain-reaction--a powerful series of events leading to the achievement of your business goals. Nearly everything on your daily agenda - every email, meeting, phone call, and interaction-- is an opportunity to affect the people around you. Instilling confidence, winning with people, adding value, building trust, getting results--all begin with a choice to initiate greatness in everything you do. Because leadership is relationally driven, the outcomes and results are largely dependent on the nature of your original influence--what you do first as a leader has a ripple effect on everyone around you. That's the leadership effect! Small changes in your leadership practices pay off in huge dividends as people exponentially leverage your influence in the area of their greatest need. Led by world-renowned leadership expert and New York Times Best-selling Author, John C. Maxwell, you will unpack the components of the R.E.A.L. Leadership Paradigm -- essential principles in four key areas of your daily agenda that will help you take your leadership to the next level. Session 1: Leadership and Real Success Session 2: Leadership Gold Session 3: Five Levels of Leadership "The leadership gold teachings. They are indeed golden! Well done!" ~ Patrick Pilariza, Accenture

Working in Obscurity

by John Maxwell

I think very highly of the importance of leadership. I guess that's obvious for a guy whose motto is "Everything rises and falls on leadership."

Occasionally someone will ask me about how ego fits into the leadership equation. They'll want to know what keeps a leader from having a huge ego. I think the answer lies in each leader's pathway to leadership. If people paid their dues and gave their best in obscurity, ego is usually not a problem.

One of my favorite examples of this occurred in the life of Moses in the Old Testament. Though born a Hebrew, he lived a life of privilege in the palace of Egypt until he was forty years old. But after killing an Egyptian, he was exiled to the desert for forty years. There God used him as a shepherd and father, and after four decades of faithful service in obscurity, Moses was called to leadership. Scripture says by that time he was the most humble man in the world. Bill Purvis, the senior pastor of a large church in Columbus, Georgia, said, "If you do what you can, with what you have, where you are, then God won't leave you where you are, and He will increase what you have."

English novelist and poet Emily Bronte said, "If I could I would always work in silence and obscurity, and let my efforts be known by their results." Not everyone wants to be out of the spotlight as she did. But it's important for a leader to learn to work in obscurity because it is a test of personal integrity. The key is being willing to do something because it matters, not because it will get you noticed.

Give your best regardless if anyone is watching.
