THE 21 INDISPENSABLE QUALITIES OF A LEADER BECOMING the PERSON OTHERS WILL WANT to FOLLOW

Abstract

What makes people want to follow a leader? Why do people reluctantly comply with one leader while passionately following another to the ends of the earth? What separates leadership theorists from successful leaders who lead effectively in the real world? The answer lies in the character qualities of the individual person. My friend, do you know whether you have what it takes to become a great leader, the kind who attracts people and makes things happen? I mean, if you took the time to really look at yourself deep down, would you find the qualities needed to live out your boldest dreams, the ones so big that you’ve never shared them with anybody? That’s a question each of us must have the courage to honestly ask—and answer—if we want to achieve our real potential. I’ve written this book to help you recognize, develop, and refine the personal characteristics needed to be a truly effective leader, the kind people want to follow. If you’ve already read The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, then you understand that becoming a leader takes time. The Law of Process says that leadership develops daily, not in a day. Part of a leader’s development comes from learning the laws of leadership, for those are the tools that teach how leadership works. But understanding leadership and actually doing it are two different activities.
