Myths of Leadership
I’ve been reading The 360-degree Leader by John Maxwell.
The book is about “Developing Your Influence from Anywhere in the Organization”
In the first section the author presents 7 myths that every leader in the middle faces:
- The Position Myth: “I can’t lead if I am not at the top.”
- The Destination Myth: “When I get to the top, then I’ll learn to lead.”
- The Influence Myth: “If I were on top, then people would follow me.”
- The Inexperience Myth: “When I get to the top, I’ll be in control.”
- The Freedom Myth: “When I get to the top, I’ll no longer be limited.”
- The Potential Myth: “I can’t reach my potential if I’m not the top leeader.”
- The All-or-Nothing Myth: “If I can’t get to the top, then I won’t try to lead.”
