Isn’t it fun to win? This Spring, both of my boys (ages 8 & 12) are playing baseball, and I can tell you that it’s a lot more fun to be a part of a winning team than watching others win at your expense!

From a leadership perspective, what does it take to be a winner? Victorious leaders have an inability to accept defeat. John Maxwell’s 15^th Law of Leadership says, “Leaders find a way for the team to win.” They figure out what must be done to achieve victory then go after it with everything they’ve got.

Leaders who practice the Law of Victory believe that anything less than success is unacceptable. What about you?  Can you learn from Josiah and the Law of Victory?

Do you ever ask, “Will my team buy in to my vision?” If you do, that’s a common leadership question. John Maxwell answers that question the same way every time it’s asked, “First tell me this—do your team members buy in to you?”

Many of us believe if the cause is good enough, people will automatically buy in to it and follow. But that’s not how leadership works. People don’t first follow worthy causes; they follow worthy leaders who promote worthwhile causes.

People buy in to the leader first, then the leader’s vision. That’s the 14^th Law of Leadership, as it’s described in the Maxwell Leadership Bible.
