1998” written by John Calvin Maxwell (born 1947) is an evangelical Christian author, speaker,
and pastor who has written
more than 60 books, primarily focusing on leadership.
The
21 Laws have been outlined for an overview.
The Law of the Lid "Leadership Ability Determines
a Person's Level of Effectiveness"
n
"The higher you want to climb, the more you need leadership. The
greater the impact you want to make, the greater your influence needs to
be."
The Law of Process "Leadership Develops Daily, Not in
a Day"
n
"Successful leaders are learners."
The Law of Navigation "Anyone Can Steer the Ship, But It
Takes a Leader to Chart the Course"
n
"A leader is one who sees more than others see, who see farther
than others see, and who sees before others do."
The Law of E.F. Hutton "When the Real Leader Speaks, People
Listen"
n
The real
leader holds the power, not just the position."
The Law of Solid Ground "Trust Is the Foundation of
Leadership"
n
"When it comes to leadership, you can’t take shortcuts, no matter
how long you've been leading your people."
The Law of Respect "People Naturally Follow Leaders
Stronger Than Themselves"
n
The more leadership ability a person has, the more quickly he recognizes
leadership - or its lack - in others."
The Law of Intuition "Leaders Evaluate Everything with a
Leadership Bias"
n
“A leader has to read the situation and know instinctively what play to
call."
The Law of Magnetism "Who You Are Is Who You Attract"
n
Who you get is not determined by what you want. It's determined by who you are."
The Law of Connection "Leaders Touch a Heart Before They Ask
for a Hand"
n
You can't move people to action unless you first move them with emotion.
The heart comes before the head."
The Law of the Inner Circle "A Leader's Potential Is Determined by
Those Closest to Him"
n
"Every leader's potential is determined by the people closest to
him."
The Law of Empowerment "Only Secure Leaders Give
Power to Others"
n
"The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good
men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling
with them while they do it."
The Law of Reproduction "It Takes a Leader to Raise Up a
Leader"
n "People cannot give to others what they do not possess. Followers
simply cannot develop leaders."
The Law of Buy-In "People Buy Into the Leader, Then the
Vision"
n The leader finds the dream and then the people. The people find the
leader and then the dream."
The Law of Victory "Leaders Find a Way for the Team to
Win"
n "Victorious leaders feel the alternative to winning is totally
unacceptable, so they figure out what must be done to achieve victory, and then
they go after it with everything at their disposal."
The Law of the Big Mo "Momentum Is a Leader's Best
Friend"
n
"Just as you can't steer a ship that isn't moving forward, strong
leaders understand that to change direction, you first have to create forward
progress."
The Law of Priorities "Leaders Understand That Activity Is
Not Necessarily Accomplishment"
n "Leaders never grow to a point
where they no longer need to prioritize."
The Law of Sacrifice "A Leader Must Give Up to Go Up"
n "One sacrifice seldom brings
success."
The Law of Timing "When to Lead Is As Important As What to Do and
Where to Go"
n If a leader repeatedly shows poor
judgment, even in little things, people start to think that having him as the
leader is the real mistake."
The Law of Explosive Growth "To Add Growth, Lead Followers - To Multiply,
Lead Leaders"
n "It's a leader's responsibility
to build the people who are going to build the company."
The Law of Legacy "A Leader's Lasting Value Is Measured
by Succession"
n
"Leadership is one of
the things you cannot delegate. You either exercise it, or you abdicate it. “
John C Maxwell: “Follow them and people
will follow you.”
