John Maxwell's #2 Law of Leadership: The Law of Influence
"We've gone from management in the '80s to leadership in the '90s to now, I can tell you, we're going, as we've entered in a whole new, not only decade, but a whole new century, we're going now to team leadership."
John Maxwell outlined his theory that leadership has evolved through three distinct eras: management-focused in the 1980s during stable times, individual leadership in the fast-changing 1990s, and now team leadership in the 21st century. He argues this shift occurred because no single leader excels at all aspects of leadership, requiring complementary teams to cover weaknesses.
