About The Author John Maxwell

John C. Maxwell is a Worldwide recognized leadership expert and author who has sold over 16 million books. John Maxwell Organization has trained a lot of leaders worldwide.

 

Law #1: The Law of the Lid

This law states that your ability to lead is key to your effectiveness as a leader. The most important thing about this law is realizing the importance of leadership and figuring out where you are in that area. A practical exercise is to rate your skills in these areas from 1 to 10.

 

1.  human skills

2.  planning and strategic thinking

3.  Vision

4.  results

After doing this exercise, have others who are close to you evaluate you and compare the two results. That should be a pretty good starting point.

 

Law #2: The Law of Influence

Maxwell says that leadership is influence, nothing more and nothing less, and the more influence you have, the greater the potential for leadership. And everyone has different levels of impact, but to increase your impact in a positive way, focus on these seven areas.

2. Relationships

3. Knowledge

4. Intuition

5. Experience

6. Success in the past

7. Capability

 

Law #3: The Law of Process

While motivation can come in an instant, growth takes time. The good news, however, is that commitment to this process produces results. Here are five stages of leadership growth.

 

1. Not knowing what you don't know

2. To know that one must know

3. Know what you don't know

4. Knowledge and growth and it starts to show

5. You just go because of what you know. And this last phase is beautiful, because then leadership can become instinctive and even automatic, and it does, especially for those who follow the law of the process.

 

Law #4: The Law of Navigation

There's a quote that says, "Anyone can steer a ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course." And this law shows that a leader often has to steer a team through difficult circumstances. Think of planning a camping trip or road trip, starting a new business, or even a flight to the moon. All of this is an example of the law of navigation.

Law #5: The Law of Addition

This law essentially states that leaders add value to others through their service. And Maxwell shares four helpful tips on how to serve better.

 

1. Really value others

2. make us more valuable

3. Get to know and understand what others value

4. Doing things that God values, such as treating others as you would like to be treated yourself.

Maxwell also notes that 90% of people who provide value to others do so on purpose. So, to be a better leader, you should try to intentionally add value and serve others and those you lead.

 

Law #6: The Law of Solid Ground

5. Maxwell says that truly effective leaders are trustworthy and honest in the long run, and that is the foundation or solid ground on which their leadership is built. So to strengthen your solid base, you should focus on these three areas.

6. Integrity: Commit yourself to strict honesty. Don't sugarcoat the truth, tell white lies, or fudge numbers. Be truthful even if it hurts.

7. Authenticity: Be yourself with everyone. No politics, role-playing, or pretending to be someone you are not.

8.   Disciplinary Procedure: Do what you know you should do, when it should be done, whether you feel like it or not. Stick to these things and your foundation or solid ground will be rock solid.

 

Law #7: The Law of Respect

This point builds on the last one, and it's about the fact that people tend to follow and respect leaders who are stronger than themselves, and that doesn't necessarily mean they are physically, financially, or otherwise strong. Some of the most respected people of all time came from humble backgrounds and were pursued by very high-ranking people. Think Harriet Tubman, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and so on. Here are some of the traits that respectable people tend to have.

1. You have respect for others

2. You have courage

3. They usually have some track record

4. loyalty

5. You create value for others

Law #8: The Law of Intuition

Another aspect of effective leadership is good intuition. It is basically a positive social instinct and is especially helpful in leadership. To strengthen your intuition, try these three tips.

 

Read books about relationships

Have more conversations

Become a people watcher or just keep learning, communicating, and observing, and you'll be on your way to becoming a more intuitive leader.

Law #9: The Law of Magnetism

There's a quote in that section that says, "Who attracts you isn't determined by what you want. It's determined by who you are." And two things that demonstrate this are energy and talent. In general, people will want to follow those who have a similar or higher energy level, and the same goes for gifts or talents. For example, who would a math student want to go to for tutoring, or an aspiring chef, or musician, or businessman, or whatever? They would want to go to someone who knows more to learn from. Right? The bottom line is, the better you become as a leader, the more magnetic your leadership will be.

Law #10: The Law of Connection

Connection is the key to influencing, and for a leader to connect well, they must have two things.

 

1.   Confidence in his or her vision and

2.   The ability to convey them well

In this section, you will find two helpful tips to achieve this

 

1.   Identify who you are and what you stand for. This will help you determine what area you want to be a leader in and why.

2.   To improve you’re speaking skills. Warren Buffett once said that one of the most valuable things he ever did was take a public speaking class and practice what he learned. So work on those two traits and watch your relationships and leadership skills improve.
