Ed Mylett Show
John Maxwell's #2 Law of Leadership: The Law of Influence
"This year, I'm going to be speaking to the West Point. I'm coming in for 2.5 days. I'm going to be speaking to all the cadets. My challenge as I go to West Point will be I'm going to teach the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. And so much of the service area is based on rank."
Maxwell revealed he will spend 2.5 days at West Point teaching leadership principles to cadets and military leadership. He acknowledged the tension between his influence-based leadership philosophy and the military's rank-based system, noting his challenge will be helping them understand that positional authority does not equal effective leadership.
