In this episode from his series on John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, Ed Mylett and John Maxwell examine Law #11: The Law of the Inner Circle.

He introduces the water bucket/gasoline bucket concept, the lifters and leaners framework, and a five-value grid for evaluating inner circle members. Ed shares a personal story about an assistant who exemplified how the right person can make a leader far more effective than they could ever be alone.
