2. THE LAW OF THE LID
!
! “…leadership ability is the lid that determines a person’s level of
effectiveness.
! The lower an individual’s ability to lead, the lower the lid on his
potential.
! The higher the individual’s ability to lead, the higher the lid on
his potential.
! To give you an example, if your leadership rates at 8, then
your effectiveness can never be greater than a 7…
! Your leadership ability – for better or worse – always determines
your effectiveness and the potential impact of your
organization.”
