John Maxwell's #18 Law of Leadership: The Law of Sacrifice

Ed Mylett explores the Law of Sacrifice, the 18th law in John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. He explains why a leader must give up to go up and why greater leadership usually brings more responsibility rather than more comfort. The episode contrasts the sacrifices of early career with those required later, when leaders must release control, ego, and identity. It also introduces a two-column 'sacrifice exchange' exercise to align stated goals with what people are willing to pay. The message is that breakthroughs may require intentional subtraction as much as addition.
