John Maxwell Leadership ( Pt 3 ) How To Connect With People

What connectors understand is this - to be effective, they have to go where the people are, know what the people know, and participate in what the people are doing.

The great connectors, they find common ground, and then they lift the person to higher ground.

You can't lift a person to higher ground until you get where they are.

What I mean by higher ground is that we have taken enough time to know them so well that we know how to lift and encourage them and to put them in a position where they sense that we look up to them, that we respect them, that we value them.

What a great lesson, beautifully shared by John Maxwell  :)
