Dive into a masterclass that reveals the shifts you should make over the course of you career to keep innovating, improving, and influencing others to the highest levels of success in today’s unprecedented business climate.
Change is so rapid today that leaders must do more than stay the course to be successful. If they aren’t nimble and ready to adapt, they won’t survive. The key is to learn how to leadershift.
John C. Maxwell helps leaders gain the ability and willingness to make leadership changes that will positively enhance their organizational and personal growth. He does this by sharing the eleven shifts he made over the course of his long, successful leadership career.
In Leadershift, Maxwell shares some of the leadershifts including…
- Adaptive Shift from Plan A to Option A,
- the Production Shift from Ladder Climbing to Ladder Building,
- the Influence Shift from Positional Authority to Moral Authority and more!
Leadershift gives specific guidance to readers about how to make these shifts in their own lives.
Each one requires them to change the way they think, act, and ultimately lead so they can be successful in a world that never remains the same.
To go forward, we need to move faster. And as leaders, we need to stay ahead, we need to see more than others, and we need to see before others.
(then Superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools) asked us about our Leadership Style, seeing that we were all in leadership roles. He suggested that leadership is less about style and more about Adaptability, being able to adapt your leadership to the moment, times, situation, etc. This book Leadershift, for me, has deepened, expounded, and connected the concept of Adaptability. In order to go from a good leader to a great leader you must be able to shift/adapt from making an differencet to making an impact and leaving a leadership legacy.
I owe a deep debt of gratitude to John's work in helping accelerate a successful 30 year career in various manufacturing businesses.
Leadershift continues this journey of learning by challenging the reader to consider the needed changes they need to make in order to keep up with today's changing times and challenging business and life conditions we all face in the world today.
This book will be like a GPS guiding you into new territory of growth for your leadership journey.

1. You never know if people are really with you until you ask them for commitment. When you ask others for commitment, you lose the uncommitted people and you gain the committed ones. When you don’t ask for commitment, you keep the uncommitted and lose the committed. You choose who you lose.
2. Whenever you cast vision and challenge people to become part of achieving an endeavor, they tend to fall into one of three groups. Typically, 25 percent of the people will support your efforts, 50 percent will be undecided, and 25 percent will resist change. Your job is to help the middle 50 percent join the first 25 percent.
3. Equality isn’t just about giving everyone the same things; it’s also about giving unique people what they need. We’ve evolved from equality to equity. Equality says everybody gets equal. Equity says no, everybody gets what they need.
4. If you do the right things when you’re young, it mostly goes unnoticed and unrecognized. But if you do the right things and lead well over decades, it becomes recognized, and you get more credit than you feel you deserve.
5. There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you. If you sacrifice without success it is because someone will succeed after.
