The Law of Process

No Shortcuts

Becoming a leader is a lot like investing in the stock market. If you hope to make a fortune in a day, you’re doomed. It’s what you do day by day, over the long haul, that matters most. If you continually develop your leadership, the inevitable result is growth.

The John Maxwell Leadership Bible’s third law (of twenty-one) of leadership is the Law of Process. As Maxwell puts it, the good news is that regardless of how you see your leadership today, you can grow and improve.

Become a Person of Influence

Becoming a Person of Influence

Last March, I joined the John Maxwell Team (JMT). Soon thereafter, I sought out a JMT-Certified Independent Coach, Speaker, and Teacher in my area. I found Howie Short (see his JMT Web Site). Turns out, Howie is a member of my church—University Baptist Church in Houston, Texas—and recognized my family when he saw our photo!

Howie and I met, and he mentored me through my John Maxwell Team Certification experience in August. I appreciated his wisdom and perspective. Howie retired as a Colonel from the Air Force and continues teaching leaders today.

On Sunday, Howie will start a new class at our church—based on John Maxwell’s Becoming a Person of Influence. He gave me a copy of the book, and I’ll be his backup teacher, in case he misses a particular Sunday.
