Maxwell on Leadership and Effectiveness

John C. Maxwell argues that your level of leadership measures your personal effectiveness. If your leadership measures 3 on a 10-point scale where 10 is highest, then your personal effectiveness cannot be more than 3 unless you improve your leadership level.

This is the good news: that leadership is a set of skills that can be learned. Maxwell also says that each law stands alone but each complements the others, that by not learning them you will not be able to lead others to the extent that you want to; and that the laws are the foundation of leadership.

Together these laws form a system which entrepreneurs need to learn and practice. If not, they may have a dream, but they're the only ones there pursuing it.
