*The author, John C. Maxwell* , October 23, 1998 Why I wrote The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership I believe that to be successful in life, every person needs four skills: 1) The ability to cultivate relationships with others; 2) The ability to equip and develop other people; 3) A positive attitude; and 4) Leadership ability. I wrote The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership to help people develop their leadership skills. I've taken everything I've learned from over thirty years of leadership in business and volunteer organizations, and I've boiled it down to 21 timeless principles that anyone can use and apply, regardless of profession, culture, gender, or position. Leadership is influence. No matter whether you are a business person trying to run a better company, a coach trying to build a winning team, or a parent trying to influence your children, your success depends on leadership. Ignore a law of leadership, and you suffer the consequences. It's like dealing with the law of gravity. Your awareness of the laws of physics doesn't matter. Jump out of a window, and you must deal with the results of your actions. They are inevitable. The same is true of the laws of leadership. Learn and follow the laws, and people will follow you. Violate or ignore them, and they won't. Someone recently asked me why I didn't include a lot of concrete application in this book, as I have in most of the other books I've written. The reason is this: I don't know what your particular leadership situation is. Application changes from person to person, but the laws apply no matter who you are or where you find yourself leading. Learn the principles, and you can apply them anywhere. Apply them, and you will become a better leader. And that will make you more effective, no matter what you want to accomplish in life.
