John Maxwell

Can't be any higher.

What it's not going to be, it's not going to be a five, six, or seven because my lid is a four.

Now, the good news is I can learn to lead.

So here's what I'm saying.

If I'm a four as a leader and I've got a three, three and a half, maybe, max, maybe, maybe a four, I doubt, company or organization, here's what I want you to see.

If I go from a four and I start learning leadership to a five, to a six, to a seven,

All of a sudden, now look what happens.

I have capacity for growth.

I have potential for growth.

My company can go from a three to a four to a five to a six.

In other words, here's what I'm saying.

You can literally double the size of your department.

You can just double the size of your company by just lifting your leadership lid.

And every one of you, every one of you here, everyone that would watch these tapes, I want to say this to you.

You can lift your leadership lid.

But everything, remember this, everything rises and falls on leadership.

By the way, where I learned this, when I lived in San Diego, California, I had a fellow by the name of Don Stevenson, who was my mentor.

And he was the president of Global Hospitality, and Global Hospitality literally would buy

They would buy resorts that were going bankrupt, resorts like La Costa, Greenleaf, any kind of major resort across America that was going under financially.

What we found was that this company, Global Hospitality, they would come in and they would buy the company.
