Welcome to this new episode where we talk about (THE LEADERSHIP HANDBOOK) book written by John C. Maxwell. The book provides important lessons for the leaders to be effective and successful.
The twenty first lesson is (The influence should be borrowed but never given away). The important points under this lesson are the following:
- When good people manage things, everyone is happy, but when the leader is bad, everyone is resentful.
- If you want to make an impact, then work on your own impact. If you want to add value to others, help them work on theirs.
- Any leader who doesn't uplift the lives of others isn't fulfilling the highest purpose of leadership.
- If leaders can't ultimately lead on their own, then they aren't of much value to the organization.
- People who lack influence of their own cannot pass that influence on to others.
- Giving influence to people who cannot or will not use it appropriately is a waste of the leader's time, effort, and resources.
