We understand that attending the Summit can be like drinking from a fire hose! So, as we focus on the topic of increasing your vision,
take a few minutes to review John Maxwell’s session from The Global Leadership Summit.
The thing that all leaders have in common is this:
In the 1980s, there were no leadership books, only management books. The reason we went from management to leadership is because fast is faster.
Story of conference whose theme was “Fast Forward.” Fast is faster than it’s ever been before. Forward is shorter than it’s ever been before. Companies used to have ten-year plans for their long-term goals and two-year plans for their short-term goals. Now, two-year plans seem long.
In the 1980s, there were no leadership books, only management books. The reason we went from management to leadership is because fast is faster.
Story of Olympic runner Gail Devers. John told her he could beat her in a 100-yard sprint … if I had an 80-yard head start. The key is getting started first – before.
Know that there is “more more” and “more before” out there. The key is creativity and flexibility.
3. Put yourself in places with people who will inspire you to see “more more” & “more before.”
Intentionally begin to put yourself in places and at events with people that will begin to expand your heart and mind.
Growth gives you capacity for “more more” and “more before.”

“Two qualities help me keep focused on ways to increase my ‘more and before’: creativity and flexibility.
These two concepts greatly influence how I see the future. They allow me to think with abundance and not scarcity. They convince me that there are no hopeless situations.”
