The Law of The Lid - Leadership ability determines a person’s level of Effectiveness The lids may be limited to fear, anger, deceit, resources The Lid represents the limit of our leadership abilities. Hard work, efficient management, and knowledge can only bring us so far. If the lid of one’s leadership is low, then the potential for success is also low. The key, then, is not just to work hard on achieving success but to work hard on raising one’s level of leadership. The results: multiplied increase in effectiveness and higher potential for success for the leader as well as the organization. Directing

Princess Diana and Mother Teresa are two of the most influential persons who ever lived. Both had the ability to make things happen and to make the world take notice. Princess Diana started out simply as a spokesperson for fund-raising, but she grew to become more influential even after losing her title as wife of Prince Charles. By her influence, she drew the world’s attention to issues such as AIDS research and she was still able to lead a global effort toward banning land mines because of her sophisticated ability to influence others.
