Leadership Gold: Lessons I’ve Learned from a Lifetime of Leading
In this book John Maxwell shares from his vast experience of leading leaders. One chapter in the book is entitled “The Best Leaders Listen” I read this chapter several times and it is so true. When you experience poor leadership it is because a leader is not listening. Whenever a leader responds to what people are saying to them with a “SO” then you are truly experiencing poor leadership. Leaders listen to people and most times those who care enough to spek out are correct.

John Maxwell writes, “Most people are down on what they’re not up on.” He has a solution. Bucket #20 in my book, Mastering The Management Buckets: 20 Critical Competencies for Leading Your Business or Non-profit, is the Meetings Bucket, so I was excited to read the chapter, “The Secret to a Good Meeting Is the Meeting Before the Meeting,” in Maxwell’s new book. He credits his meeting management wisdom to Olan Hendrix, one of his mentors. That blessed me because Olan’s mentoring also saved my leadership.
In 10 quick-reading pages, Maxwell builds the case for turning routine meetings into productive action-oriented gatherings. Following the counsel of Hendrix, he writes that the meeting before the meeting: 1) helps you receive buy-in, 2) helps followers to gain perspective, 3) increases your influence, 4) helps you develop trust, and 5) avoids your being blindsided.
The “no surprises” rule is critical for the key people in each meeting–and typically, that means you must meet with them in advance. Maxwell preaches: “If you can’t have the meeting before the meeting, don’t have the meeting. If you do have the meeting before the meeting, but it doesn’t go well, don’t have the meeting. If you have the meeting before the meeting and it goes as well as you hoped, then have the meeting!”
