Sometimes You Win · Sometimes You Learn

1 New York Times bestselling author John C. Maxwell believes that any setback, whether professional or personal, can be turned into a step forward when you possess the right tools to turn a loss into a gain. Drawing on nearly fifty years of leadership experience, Dr. Maxwell provides a roadmap for winning by examining the eleven elements that constitute the DNA of learners who succeed in the face of problems, failure, and losses.

1. Humility - The Spirit of Learning

2. Reality - The Foundation of Learning

3. Responsibility - The First Step of Learning

4. Improvement - The Focus of Learning

5. Hope - The Motivation of Learning

6. Teachability - The Pathway of Learning

7. Adversity - The Catalyst of Learning

8. Problems - The Opportunities of Learning

9. Bad Experiences - The Perspective for Learning

10. Change - The Price of Learning

11. Maturity - The Value of Learning

Learning is not easy during down times, it takes discipline to do the right thing when something goes wrong. As John Maxwell often points out--experience isn't the best teacher; evaluated experience is.
