Four is that vision determines the direction of the association. Five is that leadership determines the success of the institution. Maxwell ends by saying that to accomplish the things in life set before us, and become the person we were each created to be, leadership will help to achieve this. The 21 Irrefutable Laws of leadership encompassed many things, but the most interesting things I picked out are Trust; which is the foundation of leadership because a leader must exemplify trust. To build trust a leader must possess Competence, connection, and character. I believe a leader who is incompetent will not get anyone to follow them because they wont have the confidence. In addition I think that character is quite important because if a leader is of bad character nobody will respect him or her. The book also tells leaders that they must continue to learn, grow, and adapt. So it is critical that leaders strive to get better. This is a great read because I always strive to be a better leader in my work place as well as in my studies, and this would help anyone who wants to be a better leader as well as a better person.
