Law of the Lid
Leadership is like a lid or a
ceiling on your organization.
To reach the highest level of
effectiveness, you have to raise your
leadership lid.
Business growth depends on the
extent the leadership allows
it to grow.
Leadership has a
multiplying effect.
Law of Influence
Positional leadership
especially does not work in voluntary
organizations.
Leadership is simply about
influencing people. Cannot be
mandated. It must be earned.
The very essence of all
power to influence lies in
getting the other person to
participate.
As soon as they no longer
believe you can deliver, they will stop following.
Law of Process
I Don’t Know What I Don’t Know.
I Know That I Need to Know.
I Know and Grow and It Starts to
Show.
Leaders should be constant learners.
Leadership Develops
Daily, Not in a Day.
It’s the capacity to develop and improve
one’s skills that distinguishes leaders from their followers.
The process of learning is ongoing, a
result of self-discipline and perseverance.
Law of Navigation Anyone Can Steer the
Ship, but It Takes a
Leader to Chart the Course.
Charting A Course with A Navigation Strategy
Predetermine course of actionLay out your goalsAdjust your prioritiesNotify key personnel Allow time for acceptanceHead into actionExpect problemsAlways point to the successesDaily review your plan
Secret to the Law of Navigation is
preparation. When you prepare well, you
convey confidence and trust. Leaders
who are good navigators are
capable of taking their people just about anywhere.
Law of E. F. Hutton/Addition
Leaders add value by serving
others along with serving themselves.
Adding Value, Changing Lives – four guidelines
for adding value to others.
Truly Value OthersMake Yourself More Valuable To Others
Know and Relate to What Others Value
Do Things That Others Value
Leadership isn’t about how far we advance
ourselves but how far we
advance others.
Are you making
things better for the
people who follow you?
Law of Solid Ground
The foundation
of leadership is TRUST.
Character CommunicatesA PERSON’S CHARACTER
QUICKLY COMMUNICATES MANY THINGS TO OTHERS
Character Communicates
ConsistencyCharacter Communicates
PotentialCharacter Communicates
Respect
A leader build trust by
consistently exemplifying competence,
connection and character.
Law of RespectGreatest potential pitfall-
relying on talent alone
“PEOPLE NATURALLY FOLLOW LEADERS STRONGER THAN
THEMSELVES”
Good leaders rely on respect Good leaders understand that l leadership is voluntary As soon as respect is lost, influence over people will be lost
“When people respect you as a leader, the follow
you”
Law of Intuition“every person possess
intuition” It is based on facts and instincts as well as other changing factors like employee morale, organizational momentum.
It is the ability to “smell things”.
It is either natural or must be nurtured.
“people are intuitive in their area of strength”
Law of Magnetism “who you are is who
you attract”
It is also a call to action to know weakness and seek
to grow out of them.
The things you don’t like about your organization is what you don’t like about yourself.
“If you want to grow an
organization grow the leader”
Law of Connection “ leaders touch a heart before
they ask for a
hand” To truly connect with people you have to value them learn
about them and then adapt to who they
are.
Change yourself in order to invite them.
“you develop credibility with
people when you connect with them and show that you
genuinely care and want to help
them”
Law of the Inner Circle “ a leader’s connection
is determined
by those closest to
him” We must surround ourselves continually with people we
admire and respect
Potential for growth is stunted when we keep weaker people
than ourselves with us“ you show me
your friends and I’ll show you your
future.”
TO SUCCEED YOU MUST EMPOWER OTHERS
The Law of Empowerment
Why do we fail to empower?
DESIRE FOR JOB SECURITY RESISTANCE TO
CHANGE
LACK OF SELF WORTH
Great leaders are both highly visionary and highly practical
Mission gives Purpos
e
Vision gives a Pictur
e
Strategy
gives a Plan
The Law of the Picture
Followers Are Always Watching What You Do
It’s Easier to Teach What’s Right Than to Do What’s
Right
Work on Changing Ourselves Before Trying to
Improve Others
The Most Valuable Gift a Leader Can Give Is Being
a Good Example
The Law of the Buy-In
The leader finds the dream
And then the people
The people find the leader
And then the dream
Law of VictoryWe are
humans and we love to
win. We hate to lose.
The unity of vision doesn’t happen spontaneously
The right players with proper diversity of talent don’t come together on their own
It takes a leader to make those things happen
True leader has to ensure that the team wins. He can’t ensure
it from the very beginning but he can ensure is to follow a correct path to follow
to reach there.
Law of MomentumLeaders don’t give up. They
never lose their momentum. They always
know how to get their things
going
Examples are Walt Disney and Colonel
Sanders. There wouldn’t have been a KFC or Disney world had they given up in
the middle.
Sanders started his dream at the age of 65 and got turned down for
1009 times before getting the first yes for his franchisee
idea.
Walt Disney was turned down for
being unimaginative. After we went
bankrupt he was turned down 306
times before getting financing for hid
Disney World project
Law of PriorityA leader has
Plan Bs because he knows that
Plan A hardly works out.
Activity Accomplishment A leader is the one who climbs the tallest tree, surveys the entire situation, and yells “Wrong Jungle!”
A leader should learn 3 Rs:
1) What is REQUIRED
2) What gives a greatest RETURN
3) What brings the greatest REWARD
Law of Sacrifice The cost of
leadership: Leaders must be willing to give up more than
the people they lead
The Higher the Level of
Leadership, the Greater the Sacrifice
Effective leaders
sacrifice much that is good in
order to dedicate
themselves to what is best.
Law of Timing
Good leadership timing requires many things –
a. Understandingb. Maturity
c. Confidenced. Decisivenesse. Experience
f. Intuitiong. Preparation
Wrong action + wrong time
= DisasterRight action + wrong
time = Resistance
Wrong action + Right time
= MistakeRight action + Right
time = Success
Law of Explosive GrowthTo Add
Growth, Lead Followers – To Multiply,
Lead Leaders leaders who develop leaders
impact people far beyond their personal reach. Every
time you develop leaders and help them increase their
leadership ability, you make them capable of influencing an even greater number of
people
You can grow by leading followers. But if you want to
maximize your leadership and help your organization reach its potential, you need to develop leaders. There is no
other way to experience explosive
growth.
Law of LegacyChoose Who Will Carry
on Your Legacy –Too often leaders put
their energy into organizations, buildings or other lifeless objects. But only people live on
after we are gone. Everything else is
temporary.
Know the Legacy You Want to Leave –
Someday people will summarize your
life in a single sentence. My
advice: pick it now!
Live the Legacy You Want to
Leave – to have any
credibility as a leader, you must live what you say
you believe.
Make Sure You Pass the Baton
–If you don’t
make sure you pass the baton,
you will not leave the
legacy you desire.
In Summary
Your value is measured by your succession
You must know when to make a move
You must find a way for the team to win
You must empower others to remain an effective leader
You can’t move people to action unless you move them with emotion
You need to earn everyone’s trust, and their buy-in
You become more effective by being a better leader
