Maxwell's 3rd Law: The Law of Process

John C. Maxwell, on p. 21 of The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership Follow Them and People Will Follow You, (Nelson Books, 1998):

Leadership develops daily, not in a day.

Take Obama again. He didn't fall out of the crib being a leader. No one suspected him of it. He studied and learned until leadership skills developed within him.

On p. 23, Maxwell says,

Becoming a leader is a lot like investing successfully in the stock market. If your hope is to make a fortune in a day, you're not going to be successful.

So if your leadership skills are not well developed now, work on them and keep at it. If you don't become a leader, you'll become a more effective and intentional person.

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.
