The 21 Irrefutable LAWS of LEADERSHIP

2 Day(s)

Introduction

 In The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership delivers a powerful, definitive statement of the foundational laws that shape leadership. Each principle has stood the test of time, holding true from generation to generation. These learnable laws are the starting point of leadership. Follow them, and you’ll gain influence. Violate them, and you’ll impair your ability to lead. As you read about the laws, you’ll recognize that you already practice some of them effectively. Other laws will expose weaknesses you weren’t aware you had. Whatever your current level of influence, increasing the number of laws you apply in your life will make you a better leader.

Module 1 – The Law of the Lid

 Leadership ability is the lid that determines a person’s level of effectiveness. The lower the lid, the lower the ceiling on your potential. Oppositely, the higher your lid is, the greater your capacity for achievement. Your personal and organizational success is tied to the strength of your leadership.

 Module 2 – The Law of Influence

 The true measure of leadership is influence—nothing more, nothing less. Leadership cannot be awarded, appointed, or assigned. Influence cannot be mandated, only earned. Lack of an official title doesn’t preclude you from leading, nor does having a position of authority qualify you to lead.

Module 3 – The Law of Process

 Leaders develop daily, not in a day. Becoming a person of influence is a lot like investing in the stock market. If you hope to make a fortune overnight, then you’re going to be disappointed. What matters most is what you do day by day over the long haul.

 Module 4 – The Law of Navigation

 Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Leaders see the whole trip in their minds before they start the journey. They have a vision for their destination, understand what’s required to get there, and know whom they need on the team to be successful. Leaders keep an eye on the future, scanning the horizon for indications of which course appears the best. Then, based on what they see, they set the direction for the organization.

Module 5 – The Law of E.F. Hutton

 When the real leader speaks, people listen. Within five minutes of observing a meeting, you can pinpoint the key influencer by paying attention to eye contact. Who do people watch after a question has been asked? Whose opinion do they wait to hear? The person they look to is the real leader. People don’t listen to a leader because of the message being communicated; they listen out of respect for the speaker.

 Module 6 – The Law of Solid Ground

Trust is the foundation of leadership. When it comes to influence, you can’t take shortcuts, no matter how long you’ve been leading your people. To build trust, a leader must exemplify competence, connection, and character. People may forgive occasional mistakes based on ability, but they won’t trust anyone with shoddy character. No leader can break trust with her people and expect to retain influence.

Module 7 – The Law of Respect

 People naturally follow leaders stronger than themselves. The less skilled follow the more highly skilled and gifted. The more leadership ability a person has, the more quickly he recognizes leadership—or its absence—in others. In time, people line up to follow those they respect, or else they leave the team to pursue their own agenda.

 Module 8 – The Law of Intuition

 Leaders evaluate everything with a leadership bias. Great leaders have talent, but they also possess instincts and other intangible qualities that earn them the right to lead. Their intuition enables them quickly to size up a situation and take the appropriate action. They’re excellent readers of people and trends, and they use this knowledge to advance their goals.

Module 9 – The Law of Magnetism

 Who you are is who you attract. Good leaders understand the need to recruit people who complement their strengths, but these are not the people they naturally draw to their side. The leaders you attract will be similar to you in style and ability. To improve the caliber of your followers, get better yourself, for a team cannot be anything other than an extension of the leader’s personality.

Module 10 – The Law of Connection

 Leaders touch a heart before they ask for a hand. They connect with their followers emotionally before calling them to action. As a leader, you will gain credibility only when you demonstrate a genuine interest in the welfare of others. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Module 11 – The Law of Empowerment

 Only secure leaders give power to others. Such leaders lift up those they lead—giving them resources, encouragement, and credit. Empowering leaders place a high belief in their people. They see the best in those they lead, and inspire them to reach their potential.

 Module 12 – The Law of Reproduction

 It takes a leader to raise up a leader. People cannot give to others what they themselves do not possess. Commit to personal growth, and then pour everything you know into your people. Do that long enough, with enough people, and you’ll develop a leadership culture where talented performers flock.
