Chapter 9 of John Maxwell's book 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player

The 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player By: John Maxwell
Chapter 9


Enthusiastic


“I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile”
-Walter Chrysler


“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson


People can succeed at almost anything for which they have enthusiasm

Take responsibility for their own enthusiasm
Positive people are positive because they choose to be

Act their way into feeling
Believe I what they do
Spend time with other enthusiastic people

"Enthusiasm is contagious. It’s difficult to remain neutral or indifferent I the presence of a positive thinker"
Dennis Waitley

To improve your enthusiasm…
Show a sense of urgency
Be willing to do more
Strive for excellence

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.
- Elbert Hubbard
