What is the Law of Process in leadership?
This is the Ed Myland Show. 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership Series, Law 3, Law of Process. In today's world, I see a lot of people that want to be an overnight success. They want instant gratification. I think social media in a real negative way has contributed that everybody thinks they can be a millionaire overnight. And if they're not, they feel terrible about themselves because they think they're seeing this on their phone every single day. Someone just became another millionaire. It happens overnight. Everybody seems to want overnight success. But leadership doesn't work that way. Welcome back to our leadership series on John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. Today's principle is the law of process.
Leadership develops daily, not in one day. One of the biggest myths about success is that it happens in a single moment.
Why do many people overestimate the impact of single events?
You see these gurus go viral on social media all the time. showing you how overnight or in one moment or there's one key or one thing if you change. And the fact of the matter is you are one decision away from changing your life. But leadership and building something is a process that takes time, especially if it's going to be sustainable and long-lasting. And so the 15 minutes of fame will be long gone after success actually shows its head. But if you study great leaders, you'll discover something very different. Literal leadership didn't appear overnight. It was built through daily growth. showing up one more day at a time, doing the reps, growing themselves, pouring into people, transferring skills to people, believing in people, increasing their vision through learning themselves, through discipline, through reflection, through self-awareness, and through making mistakes, frankly.
I know I've made... More of it I can count. But you know what the key is? Improving from those mistakes. Great leaders become great because they commit to getting better every single day. Not because they're perfect. Not because it happens overnight. You know, in my book, The Power of One More, I talk about when my father decided to get sober. He's not perfect all of his life. He had tried other times to get sober. When he finally pulled me over, in the car one day on the way to a baseball game. And he said, Eddie, I'm going to try to get sober one last time. I asked him if he could actually do it. And he said, I remember him saying, I'm not sure, but I can promise you this. I'm not going to drink for one more day.
And my dad stacked up those one more days. I think that's a lot like leadership. For the rest of my dad's life, he never had another drink. One day at a time. I think becoming a leader is one day at a time. It doesn't happen overnight. It doesn't happen in one moment. But all of a sudden, you start making invisible progress in your life that you never knew you were making until you look back someday and know you were stacking those wins daily. And my dad proved that to me. He changed the trajectory for my entire family. And he did it one day at a time. Leadership is not an event. It's a process. And that process sometimes can be difficult. Let's hear John Maxwell teach the foundation of this principle, the law of process.
So guys, the last eight weeks or so, I have not been feeling on my game. And I'm like, what the heck changed? What is it? And then I remembered.
