Today's wisdom is from the 21 irrefutable laws of Leadership by John Maxwell. John Maxwell reminds us leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. Great leaders inspire, guide and create lasting impact not through authority, but through influence and integrity. Here's how to apply Maxwell's leadership principles. Today he has something called the Law of the Lid. He tells us, your leadership ability determines your level of success. So focus on improving one leadership skill today. And he has something also called the Law of Influence. People follow you because of who you are and what you represent. You build trust through consistency and action. Do what you say you will do. Then he's got something called the Law of Navigation. A leader sees farther than others see. So clarify one goal and map out the next steps to achieving it. What's one way you can lead with more influence today? Get on that. Let's make today heroic. I'll see you tomorrow.
