Is leadership really an important subject? Why do developed countries and successful organizations care about leadership and spend a lot of effort and money to teach and train people about it? I believe that reading John C. Maxwell books about leadership will provide clear answers to these questions. In his book (THE 21 IRREFUTABLE LAWS OF LEADERSHIP), there are many useful concepts about leadership.
The eighteenth law is called (The law of Sacrifice) and it stated that a leader must give up to go up.
The important points under this law are the following:
- The life of a leader can be magical to outsiders; however, the truth is that leadership requires sacrifice. A leader must sacrifice in order to rise.
- If you want to be the best leader you can be, you have to be willing to make sacrifices to lead well.
- The essence of leadership is to put others before oneself. The essence of leadership is doing what is best for the team.
- If leaders have to sacrifice to get higher, they have to sacrifice more to stay higher.
- The higher you lead, the more and more the price you have to pay. It is not important here what kind of leadership. You will have to make sacrifices.
This law must be understood well by all leaders in order not to be shocked at any stage.
