What would be a law of leadership?
And it has to be obviously about leadership, but it has to be, for example, timeless.
If it's truly a law, I mean, the law of gravity, it's the law.
I mean, it doesn't come in and go out with time.
So it has to be timeless.
It has to be able, I have to be able to,
It has to fit in every culture.
It has to be male and female.
It has to fit all of that.
And it has to have positive life change in people's lives.
So I began to list what these laws were.
And literally for two years, all I did was work with what would be a law of leadership for two years.
And I started off with about 60.
I was gonna ask you.
And just kept whittling down, whittling down.
And then I would talk to people like you and I'd say, do you think this is truly a law?
And sometimes they'd strike it down.
So anyway, after a couple of years, I got to the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.
And so I wrote the book.
And then for three years, I went on a book tour with it around the world because it became a bestseller the first week it came out, and it just stayed there on the bestseller list.
