It''s what you add to your talent that makes the greatest difference. . .

With authentic examples and time-tested wisdom, Maxwell shares thirteen attributes you need to maximize your potential and live the life of your dreams.

New York Times best-selling author John C. Maxwell has a message for today''s corporate culture fixated on talent above all else: It''s not enough just to be talented. You have to learn how to use that talent. 

Some talented people reach their full potential, while others self-destruct or remain trapped in mediocrity. What makes the difference? Maxwell, the go-to guru for business professionals across the globe, insists that the choices people make--not merely the skills they inherit--propel them onto greatness. Among other truths, successful people know that:

• Belief lifts your talent.
• Initiative activates your talent.
• Focus directs your talent.
• Preparation positions your talent.
• Practice sharpens your talent.
• Perseverance sustains your talent.
• Character protects your talent. . . . and more!!

You can have talent alone and fall short of your potential. Or you can have talent plus. . .and really stand out.
