Lately, I’ve been reflecting on what true leadership really means — not just in business, but in life, relationships, and personal growth. To deepen my understanding, I picked up a classic that never gets old: The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell.

This book is a timeless guide that reminds me leadership isn’t about titles or positions — it’s about influence, trust, and service. Maxwell breaks down leadership into clear, actionable principles like "The Law of the Lid" (your leadership ability sets the ceiling on your success) and "The Law of Addition" (leaders add value by serving others).

Each chapter is packed with stories and insights that make you pause, rethink your approach, and want to lead better — for your team, your family, and yourself.

If you’re serious about growing your influence and making a real impact — no matter your role — this book is worth your time. Highly recommend it to anyone who believes leadership is a journey, not a destination.
