The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You

by John C. Maxwell

“It’s not the position that makes the leader; it’s the leader that makes the position.”

I love the leadership proverb that says, “He who thinks he leads, but has no followers, is only taking a walk.” If you can’t influence people, then they will not follow you. And if people won’t follow, you are not a leader. That’s the Law of Influence. No matter what anybody else may tell you, remember that leadership is influence—nothing more, nothing less.

“A leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees before others do.”
