Leadership competency is the ultimate maturation skill. Life is all about living and working with people, success is about people, and leading is getting people to do what you want to be done. This realization has implications for our functioning and success as individuals and owners/managers of businesses. This book uses a story of the entrepreneurship experiences of two friends Ebong and Henry to illustrate how they succeeded, why the success of Ebong was short-lived, why Henry achieved sustainable success, and how John Maxwell's 21 laws of leadership applied to each case. The book also provides lessons on leadership and team growth competencies that can be enhanced.
