Leadership has always been an important element to achieve success and lately I have read a lot about it. Just to share some interesting points with you here.
John Maxwell has defined 21 laws of leadership, in which the following are the first 4 which I quoted from him:
1) Law of the Lid:
- The leadership ability determines the level of effectiveness.
- Personal success without leadership limits your effectiveness.
- The higher you climb, the more leadership you need.
2) Law of the Influence:
- The major difference of leaders is on the influence.
- Leadership is influence and influencer makes things happen.
- The very essence of all power to influence lies in getting the people to participate.
3) Law of the Process:
- Leadership develop daily but not in a day.
- Everyone has the potential to be leaders.
- Leaders are born but successful leaders are learnt.
- It is the capability to develop and improves their skills to distinguish a leader from his followers.
4) Law of the Navigation:
- Everyone can steer a ship but leaders charge the course.
- Followers need leaders to be able to effectively navigate for them.
- A blueprint to navigate: PLAN AHEAD
- P: Pre-determine a course of action
- L: Lay out your goal
- A: Adjust your priorities
- N: Notify key personnel
- A: Allow time for acceptance
- H: Head off the essence
- E: Expect problems
- A: Always point to the sucesses
- D: Daily review your plan
- Preparations build confidence and trust in people
