As we will be talking about law 20 of the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership it is important to recognize that a leader must have followers, of course, but an important exercise is to consider who makes up that group of followers. Followers who are content on being followers will yield a modest return to the company, but only add value to the company one person at a time. 
They are typically not “impact players”, but leaders don’t need an entire team of impact players, only a strategic few. On the other hand, followers who are leaders themselves and willing to follow your lead multiple the value added to the company, creating the opportunity for explosive growth. When looking at your team, consider what your followers bring to the proverbial table.

We don’t have to look around us very far to find examples of both good timing and bad timing. In the context of leadership, there are really only four outcomes for any decision and the first three are a result of poor timing: … Click here to read the entire article http://iconnect007.uberflip.com/i/1479191-pcb007-sep2022/89?-3478
Good leadership always makes a difference; unfortunately, so does bad leadership. This leadership truth continues as we will be talking about law 17 of the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. As a leader, you should spend most of your time working in your areas of greatest strength, a lesson that often gets lost with many leaders. While it’s key to get out of your comfort zone occasionally, do it within your area of strength.

Great leaders are committed to victory and make things happen, period. To make this point I would like to borrow a lesson from Genghis Khan in my book Notorious: Business Lessons from History’s Most Ruthless Leaders. Lesson 7 in the book is “Lead from the Front”. One of the most enduring mantras in leadership is “Never ask a follower to do something you are not willing to do yourself”.

If you were to look at the leaders that have inspired you over the course of your career, I would argue that you will find it difficult to name a single one that did not have a great supporting cast. I believe that nobody does anything great alone; great leaders surround themselves with great people. This truth was on display in the Sonny Barger chapter of my last book Notorious (in a shameless plug, it’s available on Amazon).
