ImageOur Speaker on the 8th was Donovan Tatman, he is a certified speaker, trainer and coach with the John Maxwell Team. Prior to joining the team he had a 30 year career with Tucson PD.
Talked about Leadership:
A few facts he pointed out were: Leaders continue to grow & learn, everything in life is affected by Leaders & Leadership is a learned trait of rules and laws.
Donovan pointed out three of the 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, Becoming the Person Others Will Want to Follow, from the book written by John Maxwell
o “Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence”
o Talent is a Gift, But Character is a Choice
o How you lead will determine how successful you are going to be.
He quoted some interesting statistics:
 65% of all US Senators come from the bottom half of their school classes.
 50% of all the CEO’s of Fortune 500 Companies had a “C Average” in college.
 75% of US presidents were in “the Lower-Half Club” in school.
 Over 50% of millionaire entrepreneurs never finished college.
Remember: “People Don’t Care How Much You Know, Until They Know How Much You Care” (John Maxwell Quote)
