• Law of the Lid


  Leadership ability is the lid that determines a person's level of effectiveness. The lower an individual's ability to lead, the lower the lid on their potential.
• There are very few 10's in the world on the leadership scale
• If you are a 7 on the leadership scale, you won't be able to lead someone who is an 8, 9, or 10
• Your skills can still offer invaluable leadership to people who are at a level of a 5 or 6
• The law of the lid has room for flexibility. Every leader can grow, but it takes dedication and a willingness to work for it.
• Law of Influence


  The true measure of leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.
• Insecure leaders often influence people in a way that keeps others down to protect their own position
• True leadership cannot be awarded, appointed, or assigned. It comes only from influence, and that cannot be mandated. It must be earned.
• He who thinks he leads, but has no followers, is only taking a walk.
• Law of Process


  Leadership develops daily, not in a day.
• What you can see in a person's daily agenda reflects their priorities, passion, abilities, relationships, attitude, personal disciplines, vision, and influence
• Just as you need a growth plan to improve, so do those who work for you.
• Law of Navigation


  Leaders look back at past experiences, prior successes, and hurtful failures, learn from them, and then look ahead to see where conflict and challenge may arise, preemptively responding accordingly.
• Law of Addition


  Leaders add value by serving others.
• 90 percent of all people who add value to others do so intentionally.
• Law of Solid Ground

  Trust is the foundation of leadership.
• Leaders earn respect by making sound decisions, admitting their mistakes, and putting what's best for their followers and the organization ahead of their personal agendas.
• Law of Respect


  People naturally follow leaders stronger than themselves.
• Law of Intuition


  Leaders evaluate everything with a leadership bias, using facts, instinct, and other ever-changing factors like employee morale, organizational momentum, and relational dynamics.
• Law of Magnetism


  Who you are is who you attract.
• If you want to grow an organization, grow the leader. If you want to attract better people, become the kind of person you desire to attract.
• Law of Connection


  Leaders touch a heart before they ask for a hand.
• Law of the Inner Circle

  A leader's potential is determined by those closest to them.
• Insecure leaders feel threatened when they are not the smartest and most talented people in the room, so they surround themselves with people weaker than themselves.
• Law of Empowerment


  Only secure leaders give power to others.
• To keep others down, you have to go down with them. And when you do that, you lose any power to lift others up.
• Enlarging others makes you larger.
• Insecure leaders


  Spend their time suspicious of those around them, and do everything they can to undermine people's potential and growth
• Theodore Roosevelt: 'The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and the self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.'
• Empowerment


  Powerful - not only for the person being developed but also for the mentor. Enlarging others makes you larger.
• Character


  Matters. When the leaders show the way with the right actions, their followers copy them and succeed.
• You cannot separate leaders from the causes they promote
• Good leaders take responsibility for the success of the team and do what it takes to lead the way to victory
• Momentum


  Creating momentum requires someone who has vision, can assemble a good team, and motivates others
• Pareto Principle/80-20 Principle


  Spend most of your time working on the things in the top 20% of importance, it will give you 80% of the return you are looking for
• Sacrifice


  There is no success without sacrifice. Every person who has achieved any success in life has made sacrifices to do so.
• Developing leaders


  Leads to exponential multiplication in the organization
• Our abilities as leaders will not be measured by the buildings we built, the institutions we established, or what our team accomplished during our tenure. You and I will be judged by how well the people we invested in carried on after we are gone.
