The Law of the Lid
This morning I sent out a Facebook Live about leadership, the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and The Law of the Lid.
The law of the lid is the first of the 21 Laws, and basically says this:
Leadership ability determines a person’s level of effectiveness.
This is to say that you can never go further than your ability to lead.
It makes perfect sense if you think about it.
You can get so far on your own excellence.
In my own example I could get to a certain level of success as a great martial arts teacher.
But to succeed further, grow bigger and affect many more lives with our life changing mission, I need the help of other great teachers.
To win the help of other great teachers, I have to be a great leader.
Which will get me to another level of success, by the way.
To go even further, I need the help of other great leaders.
It’s a constant quest and I love it!
It’s great to be a leadership academy that also happens to teach the most practical self defense in the world!
But the same is true for you too.
You can get to a certain level of success at whatever you do- for a career, as a business, as a parent- on your other skills, attitudes, attributes that you’re good at.
But your effectiveness is capped by the level of your leadership.
Want to start leveling up in that area today?
