Maxwell's 9th Law: The Law of Magnetism

John C. Maxwell's 9th Law, from The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership Follow Them and People Will Follow You (Nelson Books, 1998), p. 89, reads: "Who you are is who you attract."

This is true. People like to be with people who are like them. It's no different for you as for people who gravitate to you.

A good leader will go out and find those who he or she can work with but who bring different backgrounds and skills to the table. Look at the difference between George Bush II and Barack Obama. George II grouped people around them he knew and were loyal to him. Not people who were diverse. Obama has made an effort to develop a group of people who bring different skills and abilities to the table. We'll see how this all works out.

What do you think of this? The goal is to produce more, skilled entrepreneurs. Is this helpful? Post a comment. I'd like to know. And follow me on Twitter.com.
