We start with the Book review of John Maxwells book on Leadership

The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You?– John C. Maxwell

John C. Maxwell’s?The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, we get a portrait of who keeps the wheels turning. It offers simple strategies to be the leader that creates results.

According to Maxwell, leaders alone set the limits for what kind of results to expect.

If the company isn’t skyrocketing to meteoric heights, it’s because a manager is hurting their team’s chances for success, which means it’s time to fire that manager and find someone more inspiring.

Can anyone disagree with this approach? Perhaps, but Microsoft, SpaceX, Comcast, Goldman Sachs, Walmart, and countless other Fortune 500 companies operate on this exact principle: if someone isn’t getting results, cut ‘em loose and put out the fire before it spreads. Find a leader who fits the profile and trust them to create the results .

What are the 21 irrefutable laws of?leadership? They are as follows:

Marshall Goldsmith’s Six Daily Questions (Question Coaching Process)

All Businesses experience periods of rapid change, which is why Sales Leaders need to support their team regularly. It’s imperative to provide your team with more structure, not less.

To start, you’ll need to open up a regular dialogue with everyone you manage – utilising Marshall Goldsmith’s six daily questions coaching process; you’ll ensure the complete alignment of your team in terms of priorities, motivation and focus.

#1. Where are we going?

Opening up an honest dialogue can be challenging, so start with this “Bigger Picture” question. Consider touching on areas such as: “Where are we going as an organisation?” and “Where do you think we should be going?”.

#2. Where are you going?

Once you’ve opened up a dialogue with your team, it’s time to concentrate on connecting your priorities to their priorities. Again, aligning your team’s focus is imperative to success.

#3. What do you think you’re doing well?

Not only does this question serve as a platform for praise and due acknowledgement of your team’s hard work, but can be utilised using this question as a motivational cog.

#4. What ideas might you have for yourself?

Coaching client George Force, CEO of Toyota Financial Services stated that initially, he was sceptical about this question, assuming teams might give fluff answers such as “I work hard” or “I’m dedicated”. In actuality, he found that half the time, their ideas were better than his. It’s essential to use this question to extract ideas from your team. It’s possible that as a manager, you may never have thought of it before.

#5. How Can I Help?

Mutual Responsibility is an essential aspect of utilising these questions for success. Endeavour to consider that your team should be aware that you’ll need to ask these questions on an as-needed basis, which leads onto the last question.

#6. What ideas and suggestions do you have for me?

It’s crucial to feedforward, not focus so much on feedback. So, if at any time your team feels over-committed or confused, it’s a Mutual Responsibility to take steps to talk to their sales manager.

Final Thoughts

Block out the past, gain clarity and focus on strategy. Concentrate on hitting the ball in front of you.
