If You Want to be an Effective Leader, Learn These Principles! | John Maxwell 

"Leaders lead others. Leaders lift others up? Well, who are you called to? What audience are you called to?" In the room or space with John C. Maxwell and his leadership gathers diverse people of different races, callings, careers, journeys and nationalities. We must always take into consideration that when we step into the room or the same space, stereotypes, assumptions and personal expectations of others around us must come down, because they're unrealistic being that the experiences, roles, careers, tasks, demands, cultures and expectations of those around us are different. What might work in one cultural setting, organization, environment or before one audience that one leader is called to may not work in another cultural setting or before another audience another leader is called to. I'll respectfully say it like this. You cannot think that one person will like jazz music just because another person likes jazz music. That's an example of preference. You cannot assume that because a person is African American or Asian that they don't listen to rock n roll or country music. Nor can you assume that a Caucasian or Latino doesn't like rap or blue grass music. That's an example of stereotypes. We are also living in a transitional stage where we are moving from taking notes on paper to note taking on phones, tablets and laptops. The generational gap. It goes back to the analysis of the 5 different people groups in the room. We are all in Yje room. The baby boomers, Millennials, Gen X, Z and the new comers. Everyone is carrying the traits of how their generation functions, and every generation is judging the other based on preferences and stereotypes.🙄💭 Too, old, too slow, in-between it all, too fast and too young.🙃 Everyone isn't called to the same audiences and stages. Within the generational gap we have to build bridges and not walls. We have to go from being judgmental and curious to mutual understanding and appreciating the differences that others bring and are making after they leave the room in the part of the world that they are called to within this vast world of people and diversity.👌🏾💯 Guards down. Stereotypes and personal preferences cannot build great leaders of diversity. We have to shift from a leadership mindset to a DIVERSE leadership mindset. That changes EVERYTHING. Re-evaluating how we see people, differences and leadership in this next stage of leadership is pivotal.👌🏾💯

That's powerful stuff about the percentage of people that meet and exceed expectations.
