(Today is question #7 of 7 from my re-reading of John Maxwell’s book, Good Leaders Ask Great Questions, along with an excerpt from the book. Take time to not only reflect on the questions but to answer them.)

7. Am I Investing My Time with the Right People?
A Question of Return on Investment

The greatest legacy any leader can leave is the other leaders he raises up before he’s finished. That means finding the right people and investing in them continually.

People often ask how to find great leaders. The answer is simple: know what a great leader looks like. If you have a clear picture of a good leader and you can describe it in words, you know what you’re looking for.

If you don’t have a list of your own, take a look at mine and see which factors you also desire in the leaders you work with:

1. The Influence Factor – Do they influence others?

2. The Capacity Factor – Do they have the potential to grow and develop?

3. The Attitude Factor – Do they desire to grow and develop themselves?

4. The Chemistry Factor – Do we like each other?

5. The Passion Factor – Are they self-motivated?

6. The Character Factor – Are they grounded?

7. The Values Factor – Are your values compatible?

8. The Teamwork Factor – Do they work well with others?

9. The Support Factor – Do they add value to me?

10. The Creative Factor – Can they find possibilities in impossibilities?

11. The Option Factor – Can their contribution give me options?

12. The 10 Percent Factor – Are they in the top 10 percent of those on our team?
