TO SEE HOW THE LEADER IS
DOING, LOOK AT THE PEOPLE
DOING, LOOK AT THE PEOPLE
In the mid-1970s, I attended a conference where Lee Roberson was a speaker. He made a statement during a session that inspired me and changed my life. Roberson said, âEverything rises and falls on leadership.â By that he meant that leaders inevitably make things better or worse for the people who follow them. Wherever you have a good leader, the team gets better, the organization gets better, the department or division gets better. And wherever you have a bad leader, everyone that leader impacts has a tougher time. Leadership makes every endeavor either better or worse.
The moment I heard that statement, I understood intuitively that it was true. That statement soon became my theme. It has been a major inspiration and motivation for me for more than thirty years. It has been the foundation of the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, including the Law of the Lid, which states, âLeadership ability determines a personâs level of effectiveness.â And it has influenced how I see everything that happens around me.
THE LEADER IS RESPONSIBLE
The more you understand leadership, the more you see how leaders impact things around them. A few years after I heard Roberson speak, along with millions of other Americans I watched Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan debate prior to the 1980 presidential election. Most people agreed that the debate turned on a question that Reagan asked the American people. He said,
Next Tuesday is Election Day. Next Tuesday all of you will go to the polls and stand there in the polling place and make a decision. I think when you make that decision it might be well if you would ask yourself, âAre you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go buy things in the store than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago?â If you answer all those questions yes, why, then I think your choice is very obvious as to who youâll vote for. If you donât agree, if you donât think that this course that weâve been on for the last four years is what you would like to see us follow for the next four, then I could suggest another choice that you have.1
Why would that question...
