Are you a “self-made” man/woman? If yes, then that’s sad to know!

If you’ve done it all alone, chances are you haven’t done much! because “one” is too small of a number to achieve greatness.

As Steve Jobs once said: “Great things in business are never done by one person, they are done by a team of talented people”.

Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much. The law of inner-circle says: A leader’s potential is determined by those closest to him.

The next question that arises is how can we attract those talented group of people and keep them working on our grand vision?

The answer is: through leadership.

If you know what it takes to become a great leader, and you are working towards that, you have a good chance of finding, convincing and keeping those talented individuals to notice you, join you and keep working alongside you to achieve your vision.

“Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. The person with the most influence, at any given time, for any give reason, in any given group, is the leader of the pack.”

“Everything raises and falls on leadership. Leaders are responsible for the success and failure of their organization.”

John C. Maxwell is a legend when it comes to leadership. He has written 100+ books and sold ~25-30 million books on the subject. He has taught and trained millions of leaders world wide.

His most popular work is called: The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership Here is a link to a playlist which he teach that book. Don’t miss this: https://lnkd.in/dvNExtug

I attended many of his courses on leadership and teamwork and read several of his books.

I re-read this one just as reminder of what it takes to become a leader.

What do you think about leadership? are you developing your leadership skills? What it takes to become a leader?

Happy reading!📙
