The Law of Process– Leadership Develops Daily, Not in a Day
This quote by Maxwell in his book The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership captures well the powerful truth that while people may be given talents and abilities from birth, a truly powerful and influential leader must develop and hone their talents and abilities over time. Just as someone would invest in the stock market, waiting and taking time to make sure that their investment is well handled, leaders must also invest into themselves. A leader cannot become great overnight, but rather it takes years of experience and active investing to become a great leader. So even though people may have natural gifts for leadership, it takes time to bring together all aspects of an effective leader such as vision, experience, respect, and discipline. When all of the aspects of leadership are working together, one is then able to be their most effective, and the result of all their investment of time and energy over the years will then pay off.
