LEADERSHIP LAWS - #1/21 : The Law of the Lid

Leadership Ability Determines a Person’s Level of Effectiveness
Leadership ability is the lid that determines a person’s level of effectiveness. Your leadership ability always determines your effectiveness and the potential impact of your organization.
By raising your leadership ability – without increasing your dedication at all – you can increase your original effectiveness by 600 percent. Leadership has a multiplying effect.
Smart, talented people are able to go so far because of the limitations of their leadership. To reach the highest level of effectiveness, you have to raise your leadership lid.

STORY

With more than 34,000 McDonald’s restaurants in 119 countries, few people knew who Dick and Maurice was but a lot more knew a man named Ray Kroc, who bought the rights to franchise McDonald’s restaurants and turned McDonald’s into an American institution and a global entity. Though Dick and Maurice were very successful as restaurateurs, they failed as franchisers because they lacked the leadership necessary to make a larger enterprise effective. Ray Kroc on the other hand is a leader who had a vision for McDonald’s potential as soon as he visited the restaurant back in 1954.

ACTION POINTS

  1. Become a student of leadership to increase your leadership lid (i.e. your level of leadership).
  2. Ask your spouse, boss, colleagues, friends to rate (on the scale of 1 to 10) your ability to connect with people, plan and think strategically, cast a vision, get results.
  3. When faced with a challenge, think first on who you can enlist to help.
  4. When your team, department, or organization fails to achieve an objective, assume that it’s a leadership issue.
  5. Think in terms of significance more than success
