determine how well you succeed . Your leadership is your lid . The great news is that you can learn to lead , and not only can you learn to lead , your people can learn to lead .”
Your Leadership Lid Is Your Lid
If you want to grow your company , you must do two things . You must develop yourself , and you must develop others to grow them into leaders . When you develop yourself , you begin to add to your life . When you develop others , you begin to multiply the value you add to others . Once you add value to a leader , that leader turns around and influences a lot of people . “ This law is the most important law ,” Maxwell said . “ Not because it ’ s more important than the others , but if you understand this law , you will begin to spend the rest of your life with a passion to learn how to lead better than you do now .”
Only 2 Things Make Your Leadership Succeed
“ If you really want it to rise , you have to have good leadership skills , and you have to have good values ,” Maxwell said . “ One won ’ t substitute for the other .” Good leadership coupled with bad values creates large turnover in organizations because people don ’ t want to stay with you . “ If you have great leadership skills , but you have bad values , you will know how to lead people , but because your values aren ’ t right , you ’ ll manipulate them and you ’ ll begin to take advantage of them ,” he said . “ You ’ ll begin to have people adding value to you instead of you adding value to them .”
Great values coupled with poor leadership skills won ’ t grow your company , either . “ If you have great values , but you don ’ t have leadership skills , then the good news is you ’ re going to be a wonderful person ,” Maxwell said . “ I tell people if you know somebody who has good values , but they don ’ t have leadership skills , make them your friend , not your leader . But when both leadership skills and good values come into play , that ’ s when everything really begins to rise . When you grow yourself as a leader , you grow your organization . And when you grow the people on your team and your organization ’ s leaders , everything follows .”

The Law Of Magnetism
Like attracts like . You can ’ t expect to attract highly talented , quality people to your organization if you don ’ t possess those types of qualities yourself . To attract better people , you ’ ve got to become the kind of person you want to attract . “ We don ’ t attract whom we want . We attract who we are ,” Maxwell said . “ This is the law of magnetism .” If you are a leader who is a level 5 , you are not going to attract a level 8 leader . “ When you raise your lid , you not only build your organization , you attract higher level people ,” he said .
