Good Morning,
My current read is John C. Maxwell’s ‘21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership’ (http://www.leadershipnow.com/leadershop/9780785288374.html). I really like the historical references he uses for each of the 21 laws of people who embody each of the laws.
Two facets of this book really caught my attention. The first is that while we may not all be born natural leaders, we can all learn to embody these different laws and improve our leadership skills. John shares with us people who have learned and become experts in these areas. By leadership skills I mean any time we want to have influence over someone else. Like being a better parent, or team leader or even a member of a team. As John simply says, Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.
The second facet of this book which really impressed me was John saying that he had, at the point of writing this book, been a leader for over 30 years and that he continues to keep learning to this day, and because of this he has become a very good leader and hopes to become even better.
There is no overnight instant leadership pills, Ken Blanchard showed this in the book of the same name. Becoming a good leader takes both learning and practice over time. One of the best ways to drive learning is, well, to read a book.
I remember talking to my eldest daughter this weekend and told her of the dozens of books on leadership I have read, they all have a common theme imbedded in all of them. That theme is READ, and read a
To be better in life, remember to read and learn and grow.
Enjoy!
