The Law of Solid Ground
Please feel free to post your comments and provide us with some feedback.
On our last show we were discussing “The Law of E. F. Hutton” which is the fifth law in John C. Maxwell’s great book “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.”
This morning I want to talk about “The Law of Solid Ground” the simple interpretation being.
Trust Is the Foundation of Leadership!
Over the years of being a leader I have learned that Leadership cannot survive without Trust. When your people know that you’re a person of integrity they will tolerate mistakes but if your integrity ever comes into question your Leadership is at risk.
Here’s a statement right out of John Maxwell’s book “To build trust, a leader must exemplify competence, connection, and character.”
One of the worst things that I have ever seen a leader do to jeopardize their position in relation to “The Law of Solid Ground” is to over promise and then under deliver whit their people. The reason this one factor can be so devastating is because it is seen and felt by more than just the parties involved in the promise.
I try to live by the motto—Its better to under promise and over deliver than to risk the opposite!
We all have the ability to earn respect and increase our leadership by making sound decisions, admitting our mistakes, and putting what’s best for our followers, and our team ahead of our own personal agendas.
Before I forget, let me drive this point home—A leader that does not know haw to admit when they have made a mistake is NO Leader at all.
In my personal opinion the ability to admit making a mistake and learn from it is one of the strongest assets that any leader can posses to instill trust in their followers.
Today I’m going to leave you with this parting thought
This past week I had a conversation whit a good friend about a young man that we both know and he made the following comment—he said that smart people learn from their mistakes, and very smart people learn from the mistakes of others. This is so true because life is to short for anyone to make all of the mistakes themselves.
Find yourself a good mentor, be willing to submit your ego to that person, and become a student of leadership and watch your life change for the better.
Success Is A Choice—Here’s To Yours!!!
