Maxwell&#8217;s Law #18: The Law of Sacrifice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Non-leaders sometimes have the misconception that leadership is pleasant\u2014you get freedom, power, and wealth. While some leaders do get these things, <strong>the constant among successful leaders is that they\u2019ve earned their success through sacrifice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some things to keep in mind to successfully apply the Law of Sacrifice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>It is impossible to succeed without sacrifice.&nbsp;<\/strong><ul><li>For example, you may give up four years of your life and spend thousands of dollars to go to college to train for a career.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Leaders need to sacrifice more than the average person to be successful.<\/strong> When you\u2019re a leader, your rights and responsibilities are inversely proportional.<\/li><li><strong>Sacrifice is a process, not a one-off<\/strong>. Even after you\u2019re successful, you never get to stop sacrificing. If you do stop sacrificing after you\u2019ve reached a certain goal (\u201cdestination disease\u201d), you won\u2019t progress any more.<\/li><li><strong>The sacrifice is proportional to the level of leadership.<\/strong> The higher your leadership level, the more you have to sacrifice.<ul><li>For example, consider becoming president. President is one of the highest leadership positions, and to get there, potential presidents have to spend years in lower leadership positions, renounce personal privacy, and be constantly questioned and scrutinized. Even once presidency is over, retired presidents spend the rest of their lives guarded by Secret Service agents.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Even if you don\u2019t personally witness the payoff of your sacrifice, someone in the future does.<\/strong> For example, say you\u2019re an uneducated laborer. You work hard to make enough money to send your kids to school. Because your kids had this opportunity, they\u2019re in a better position to set up their own kids for success. And so on down the generations.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Example of a Failed Application of the Law: Sports Teams<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sports teams rarely win championships two years in a row. This is because their leaders often think that if the team wins one year, they can win the next by doing the same thing. <strong>Continuing to do what worked in the past is easier than making new sacrifices, but it never pays off. <\/strong>Often, the competition is fiercer the next year, and by staying stagnant, last year\u2019s champions can\u2019t compete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Example of a Successful Application of the Law: Martin Luther King Jr.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When Martin Luther King Jr. was studying at Crozer Seminary, he experienced two formative leadership moments: he learned about Gandhi\u2019s work, and was elected president of his senior class. Soon after King moved to Montgomery, Alabama to work for a Baptist Church, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on the bus to a white passenger. African American leaders arranged a one-day transit system boycott and created the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA). King was elected president. King and the MIA organized and extended the transit boycott and negotiated with the city for rights for African Americans. King was arrested, indicted, and someone threw a bomb on his porch. Finally, the US Supreme Court banned segregated seating. <strong>King had achieved his goals, but he\u2019d had to put up with a lot to get there.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>King continued to make sacrifices that allowed him to lead. He received death threats. He met with presidents. He was arrested and jailed. He led half a million people on a peaceful march in Washington DC. He was stoned and stabbed. He won a Nobel Peace Prize. Finally, he was assassinated. The night before he was killed, he gave a speech talking about how <strong>he knew something bad was coming, but he had accepted it because he knew that leadership required sacrifice.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Law of Sacrifice?
