Book review: Law 8 of the 21 Irrefutable laws of leadership.

Law of intuition

INTRODUCTION
"Leaders look at things differently than others do. They evaluate everything according to their leadership bias".

REVIEW:
Sadly, the author started with the discovery that not everyone are intuitive in the area of leadership but lifted the spirit when he made known that every person posses intuition.

He explained that the law of intuition depends on more than just facts but also on instincts, intangible factors like employee morale, organisational momentum and relational dynamics. He might as well mentioned resources and environment.

Arguably, he mentioned the advantage of being born with natural leadership ability (arguably because, the more you are down with natural talent, the more you are eager to equip yourself with knowledge. Most times, great leaders aren't those who have the natural talent, but those who put to practice what they have acquired). Nevertheless he revealed also that we could still work to develop and hone it as he listed the two ways of which intuition originates from; the combination of natural talent and learned skill.

In a nutshell, the author pointed out using Steve Jobs as an excellent example that leadership is really more of art than science. Here is what he has to say. "The principle of leadership are constant, but the application changes with every leader and every situation. That's why it requires intuition. Without it, leaders get blindsided and that's one of the worst things that can happen to a leader. If you want to lead long, lead well, stay ahead of others, you 've got to obey the law of intuition.

LESSON:
1. Be willing to trust your instinct.
2. Try being concious of your environment. Read people, know how they feel, read every situation and try making decisions without depending on the facts.
3. Read 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell...law 8...
