When to Lead Is As Important As What to Do and Where to Go

Timing is often the difference between success and failure in an endeavor.

John Maxwell's The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership

Law #18 The Law of Sacrifice

A Leader Must Give Up to Go Up

The heart of leadership is putting others ahead of yourself. It's doing what is best for the team. For that reason, I believe leaders have to give up their rights.

Law #17 The Law of Priorities

Leaders Understand That Activity Is Not Necessarily Accomplishment

Law #15 The Law of Victory

Leaders Find a Way for the Team to Win

Law #14 The Law of Buy-In

People Buy into the Leader, The the Vision

Many people believe that if the cause is good enough, people will automatically buy into it and follow. But that's not how leadership really works. People buy into the leader first, then the leader's vision. Having an understanding of that changes your whole approach to leading people.
You cannot separate leaders from the causes they promote.

Law #13 The Law of the Picture

People Do What People See

When times are tough, uncertainty is high, and chaos threatens to overwhelm everyone, followers need a clear picture from their leader the most. The living picture they see in their leader produces energy, passion, and motivation to keep going. As you strive to improve as an example to your followers, remember these things:
1. Followers are always watching what you do
2. It's easier to teach what's right than do what's right
3. We should work on changing ourselves before trying to improve others
4. The most valuable gift a leader can give is being a good example

Law #12 The Law of Empowerment

Only Secure Leaders Give Power to Others

Leading well is not about enriching yourself-it's about empowering others. Only empowered people can reach their potential. When a leader can't or won't empower others, he creates barriers within the organization that followers cannot overcome.

Law #11 The Law of the Inner Circle

A Leader's Potential Is Determined by Those Closest to Him

When we see an incredibly gifted person, it's always tempting to believe that talent alone made him successful. To think that is to buy into a lie. Nobody does anything great alone. Leaders do not succeed along. A leader's potential is determined by those closest to him. What makes the difference is the leader's inner circle.

Law #10-The Law of Connection

Leaders Touch a Heart Before They Ask for a Hand

Good leaders work at connecting with others all the time, whether they are communicating to an entire organization or working with a single individual. The stronger the relationship you form with followers, the greater the connection you forge-and the more likely those followers will want to help you.

Law #9-The Law of Magnetism

Effective leaders are always on the lookout for good people.

What will determine wheather the people you want are the people you will get? The answer is who you are. In most situations, unless you take strong measures to counteract it, you will draw people to you who posses the same qualities you do.
