THE LAW OF BUY-IN
People Buy into the Leader, Then the Vision
In the fall of 1997, a few members of my staff and I had the opportunity to travel to India and teach four leadership conferences, something weāve done many more times in the last decade.

In 1920āa mere six years after returning to Indiaāhe was elected president of the All India Home Rule League.
The most remarkable thing about Gandhi isnāt that he became a leader in India, but that he was able to change the peopleās vision for obtaining freedom. Before he began leading them, the people used violence in an effort to achieve their goals. For...
