“Leadership ability is always the lid on personal and organizational effectiveness.”
–John Maxwell
I learned the Law of the Lid the hard way when I was the CEO of a nonprofit. When I stopped growing my leadership skills, the organization stopped growing. Period.
John Maxwell teaches in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership that our leadership ability determines our level of effectiveness and influence.
We are either growing or dying. There’s no middle ground.
But I’ve come to realize our “lid” isn’t just about leadership. We can have lids in our relationships, our health, our mindset, our emotional resilience, and even our sense of purpose. Wherever we stop learning, stretching, and growing, we eventually limit what’s possible.
The good news? Your ceiling is your choice.
And one of the best ways I know to raise your leadership lid is to intentionally put yourself in places where you are challenged to think bigger and lead better.
That’s exactly why I’m so excited about Live2Lead Tri-Cities on October 22.
This year, we’ll learn from:
John C. Maxwell–one of the most respected leadership experts and author of more than 110 books
Dan Heath--bestselling author or coauthor of six influential business books

Rory Vaden–bestselling author and expert on self-discipline, productivity and influence

If you’ve been thinking about investing in your own growth—or the growth of your team—this is a great place to do it.
