THE ED MYLETT SHOW · John Maxwell's #11 Law of Leadership: The Law of the Inner Circle · 27 Aug 2026 podcast

I didn't have a good team around. voice-verified

That's when the law of inner circle really came to me. voice-verified

I I formed this law at the age of forty because all of a sudden I realized that if I was going to really reach my potential, I was going to have to reach my potential with people. voice-verified

Now, when I wrote the book, The Seventeen Laws of Teamwork, the first law of the law of teamwork, is the law of significance, and the law of significance says one is too small of a number to achieve greatness. voice-verified

It's a great law. voice-verified

In other words, you can't do anything significant by yourself. voice-verified

So therefore, if you're one of these kind of people that likes being a self made man you know, it's once a while people say, You know, I'm a self made man, you know, and they they want me to congratulate 'em, I always look at 'em say, Oh, that's too bad. voice-verified

Hate to hear that. voice-verified

You see, the law of the inner circle says if you really want to if you really want to achieve great things voice-verified

You've got to bring people around you, this inner circle around you, these key players that really make a difference. voice-verified

And one of the things that's so exciting about team leadership, and one of the reasons I love teaching 21 laws is, as I've shared with you before, not everybody does all 21 laws well. voice-verified

And going back to an illustration I used on the law of navigating, if Chuck is a good navigator and I'm not a good navigator, team leadership begins to be huge. voice-verified

And what I need to do is I need to understand each one of my players and what their strengths are. voice-verified

And if this truly is my team, if this is my team, I'm gonna tell you right now, this team is gonna make me or they're gonna break me. voice-verified

Isn't that true? voice-verified

Think about think about the people closest to you right now. voice-verified

They're either your greatest asset. voice-verified

And every once in a while run the leaders and say, Van, I'm telling you right now, I can't get my team to come along and they're not doing this. voice-verified

I mean, it's a by the way, it's not any fun. voice-verified

Is it any fun to hit the ball and drag Charlie? voice-verified
