(Leadership is leadership. wherever you go and whatever you do. The era is changing, technology is evolving, and cultures differ from place to place, but the principles of leadership are constant, whether for the ancient Greeks, the armies of the modern world, or the leaders of the global community. The principles of leadership do not change and do not change with the passage of time). Said by John C. Maxwell in his book (THE 21 IRREFUTABLE LAWS OF LEADERSHIP).
The twentieth law is called (The law of Explosive Growth) and it states that to add growth, lead followers, but to multiply growth, lead leaders.
The important points under this law are the following:
- Becoming a leader developing leaders requires a very different focus and mindset than attracting and leading followers.
- You can grow through leading followers; however, if you want to maximize your leadership and help your organization to reach its full potential, you need to develop leaders.
- Good leaders lead for their followers and for what they can leave behind after their leadership time is up.
- Leaders who develop leaders give rewards, resources, and responsibilities based on results. The more influence leaders have, the more opportunities they will get.
- When leaders spend their time developing the leaders they attract, they are making a valuable investment in them. Every moment they spend helps increase their potential and influence.
- Developing leaders is not easy or simple. It requires a lot of time, effort and resources for the following reasons:
1. Difficulty in finding leaders.
2. Difficulty in gathering leaders.
3. Difficulty in keeping leaders.
- Leadership development is cumulative. The more you invest in people and the longer that investment takes, the greater the growth and the greater the return.
