We often treat the word capacity as if it were a natural law of limitation. Unfortunately most of us are much more comfortable defining what we perceive as off limits rather than what's really possible. Could it be that many of us have failed to expand our potential because we have allowed what we perceive as capacity to define us? What if our limits are not really our limits?

Why do some people achieve great personal success, yet never succeed in building a business or making an impact in their organization? John C. Maxwell knows the answer. According to Maxwell, the greatest leadership principle that he has ever learned in over 35 years of leadership is that those closest to the leader will determine the success level of that leader. It’s not enough for a leader to have vision, energy, drive, and conviction. If you want to see your dream come to fruition, you must learn how to develop the leaders around you.

We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference. The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy.

This book is another version of John's great work "Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn". As a John Maxwell Certified Trainer I know how much of an effect this book has on adults. The Teen version also has an Amazing effect on teenagers and how they look at aspects of Life.

Awesome way to teach kids success principles!
This is a great adaptation for kids of one of the great John Maxwell books. I'm so happy that he made one for kinds and I'm looking forward to any more children's books that he writes.
It was a little shorter than expected, but I guess that's the perfect size for children.
