21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John Maxwell

“Personal and organizational effectiveness is proportionate to the strength of leadership."

Nothing is more more practical than John Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. When I met him in 2005, he talked about the Law of the Lid and explained how a person's leadership lid dictates the level of leadership of the team. If a leader’s capacity to lead on a scale of 1 to 10 is 7, that leader can only attract those whose leadership capacity is 6 or below. Each and every principle in this book has shaped my view on leading others and myself.
