3. The Law of Process: leadership Develops Daily, Not in a Day.

Points of the Principle:

In the same way that we invest in the stock market, we should also invest in the

process of becoming a leader. No one becomes a leader overnight. Even when

someone is gifted with natural abilities, one still has to build one's collection of

leadership skills. There are many facets to leadership, among which are respect,

experience, discipline, and vision. To be an effective leader, one must develop these

facets. Doing so takes time.

Leaders Who Live Out the Law:

Successful leaders should be learners-- continuously improving and building up on

previously developed skills. Jimmy Carter is one leader who developed through

time. He developed his leadership abilities and has now earned worldwide respect

as leader of the Habitat for Humanity organization.

President Theodore Roosevelt and heavyweight champion Joe Frazier are also

good examples of individuals who believe in perseverance, preparation, and

continuous learning as factors for success.
