Law of the lid: Leadership ability determines a person's effectiveness as
a leader.
The
Lid represents the limit of our leadership abilities. Hard work, efficient
management,
and knowledge . only bring us so far. If the lid of one's leadership is
low,
then the potential for success is also low. The key, then, is not just to work
hard
on
achieving success but to work hard on raising one's level of leadership. The
results:
multiplied increase in effectiveness and higher potential for success for the
leader
as well as the organization.
Leaders
Who Lived Out the Law.
Before
Ray Kroc bought the rights to Mc Donald's franchises, it was a profitable
enterprise
efficiently managed by Dick and Maurice Mc Donald. The Mc Donald
brothers
worked hard and were geniuses in customer service and kitchen
organization,
but they were not leaders. Thus they failed to grow the franchise
business.
Kroc built up a team of leaders, made personal sacrifices, and
successfully
grew the Mc Donald's franchise business into the global restaurant
chain
that it is now.
Steve
Jobs of Apple Computer is another individual who had a high level of
leadership
and was able to bring himself and his organization to a high level of
success.
pointers
for Practice:
When
a company, a sports team, a church, or even a country is in a state of trouble,
check
the leadership. Chances are the leadership lid of its leader is low.
