In a recent podcast, John Maxwell issued a profound statement. He said, “We overestimate the event and underestimate the process.”

It is the difference between focusing on goals versus focusing on growth. In the podcast, he walks through his journey from accidental growth through team growth and the lessons learned at each level.

As leaders, we set goals, as we should. But we must always remember that the goal is not the be-all end-all. It is just part of the journey. And the journey is continual growth.
