(THE 21 IRREFUTABLE LAWS OF LEADESHIP) written by John C. Maxwell is a very useful book in the leadership field. It is full of lessons and useful concepts that will be benefial for any leader or who seeks to be a leader in future. These lessons and concepts are represented through 21 laws.
The fourteenth law is called (The law of Buy-in) and it states that people buy into the leader, then the vision.
The important points under this law are the following:
- People do not follow noble issues at the beginning, they follow effective leaders who stand for issues they can believe in.
- If a leader has not established his credibility with his followers, it does not really matter how great the vision he presents.
- Every message that people receive is filtered by the messenger who delivers it. If you consider the messenger to be a credible person, you will believe that the message is valuable.
- The only case that people will follow a leader who they do not like carrying a vision that they are not convinced with is that the leader has some kind of a power.
- Even if people believed that the issue is noble, if they did not love the leader, they will search for another leader to follow.
- When people believe in the leader and his vision, they will follow him no matter how bad the circumstances are and whatever obstacles stand in front of them.
- As a leader, your success is measured by your ability to get people where they need to be; however, you can only do this if people believe in you as a leader first.
This law is essential for any leader since it will support achieving the vision.
