Category: 2015 – Maxwell’s 21 Laws

This week’s devotions from the John Maxwell Leadership Bible focus on the seventh law (of twenty-one) of leadership—the Law of Respect, which says that people naturally follow leaders stronger than themselves.

The more leadership ability a person has, the more quickly she or he recognizes leadership—or its lack—in others.

As an Old Testament Judge, Deborah’s leadership gifts commanded the respect of both men and women, even though few women in her day rose to leadership positions. Even Barak, the military commander of the northern tribes of Israel, sought her help.

This week’s devotions from the John Maxwell Leadership Bible focus on the sixth law (of twenty-one) of leadership—the Law of Solid Ground, which says that trust serves as the foundation of leadership.

To build trust, a leader must exemplify three qualities: competence, character, and connection. People will forgive occasional mistakes based on ability, especially if they see that you’re still growing as a leader. But they won’t trust someone who slips in character. In that area, even occasional lapses are lethal. No leader can break trust with his team and expect to keep influencing them. Trust makes leadership possible.

Let’s examine this week’s devotions, focused on Samson and the Law of Solid Ground.
