    Miglior citazione da John C. Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: A Full Lesson

    “

    Leadership ability is the lid that determines a person’s level of effectiveness; if your leadership is a four, your results can never be a five. To raise that lid, you must embrace the law of process, understanding that leadership develops daily, not in a day.
