Week 9 – The Law of Magnetism “Who you are is who you attract.” Hello Leaders, Maxwell teaches us that we don’t attract who we want—we attract who we are. This law reminds us that the qualities within us act like a magnet, drawing in people with similar character, values, and mindset. 🔑 Key Takeaways from Chapter 9: - Attitudes attract: Positive leaders attract positive people. Negative leaders draw in negativity. - Values connect: Shared values create trust and loyalty. People are drawn to leaders who live out what they believe. - Energy multiplies: Driven, disciplined leaders naturally attract people who are also motivated and willing to grow. - Like attracts like: If you want stronger, more capable people on your team, you must first become stronger and more capable yourself. Leadership isn’t just about recruiting talent—it’s about developing yourself so that the right people naturally want to follow you. Reflection Question: What qualities in yourself do you see reflected in the people you attract—and what qualities do you need to develop to draw the kind of team you truly want?

"Leaders evaluate everything with a leadership bias." ✩ Week 8 – The Law of Intuition Hello Leaders, Great leaders don’t just see facts—they sense what those facts mean for the future. The Law of Intuition reminds us that leadership isn’t only about knowledge or experience; it’s about seeing opportunities, challenges, and people through the lens of leadership. Leaders with strong intuition can read situations, trends, and people quickly. They trust their instincts because those instincts have been shaped by values, vision, and past lessons. Intuition helps leaders act decisively, especially in uncertain times when the path isn’t clear. The good news? Intuition can be developed. By reflecting on experiences, staying closely connected to your team, and sharpening your awareness of both people and circumstances, you strengthen your leadership instincts. How do you currently use intuition when making decisions, and in what areas do you feel you need to trust it more?
