John Maxwell's #2 Law of Leadership: The Law of Influence

This is the Edam Island Show. 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership Series, Law 2, Law of Influence. I'm just going to take a guess and say at some point you worked in a company where you work for someone with this big old job title, but nobody really followed them. They were, they had titalitis. And then there may have been someone else who may not have had that job title, but took initiative and people listened to them and followed them.

Welcome back to your leadership series on John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. Each episode, we're exploring a leadership principle that has shaped leaders all over the world, including me. Today's principle is the law of influence. Many people believe leadership begins with a title. It's just not true.

They think leadership starts at the moment someone becomes a manager or a CEO or they've hired you or they're in charge somehow. But leadership has really never been about position. It's about influence. You've probably seen this in your own life. Somebody with authority, but nobody respects them.
