Laws of Leadership



According to John Maxwell 

an American author, speaker, and pastor who has written many books, primarily focusing on leadership.

1. Law of the Lid 







Your leadership is like a lid on your organization. (just like cooking rice) The organization will only reach a certain level, the level of competence of its leader That’s why when a corporation or team needs to be fixed, they fire the leader and replace him with someone with greater competence. So invest in improving yourself.

2.Law of Navigation 







Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Vision is defined as the ability to see the whole trip before leaving the dock. A leader will also see obstacles before others do. A leader sees more, sees farther, and sees before others. A leader is a puller, not a pusher. He’s been there before.

3.Law of Solid Ground 



 

 

Trust is the foundation for all effective leadership. Building trust requires competence, connection and character. Competence – expert in your field Connection – empathize with your people Character – integrity, truthfulness Your people must see these 3 in you, then they will trust you.

4. Law of Victory   



Leaders find a way for the team to win A leader is a “Go-to guy” When things are going out of control or spiraling down, a good leader take things in his hands and turns things around. Never-say-die attitude

5.Law of Priorities 





  

A leader is wise and organized, he knows his priorities Activity is not necessarily accomplishment. We need to learn the difference. If you are a leader, you must learn the three “Rs”... a) what is Required b) what is uRgent c) what brings the greatest Reward.

6. The Law of Sacrifice  



A leader must give up to go up. Successful leaders must maintain an attitude of sacrifice to turn around an organization. ”When you become a leader, you lose the right to think about yourself.”

7.The Law of Explosive Growth   

 



To add growth, lead followers. To multiply growth, lead leaders. A leader is not insecure. His assistants are not seen as threats to his leadership. A leader empowers his inner circle It takes a leader to raise up another leader A leader duplicates himself
