In A Leader’s Day In this book, John Maxwell (2007) presents a 21-week study plan covering 21 leadership laws that are based on readings from the Bible. This reading assists leaders in capitalizing on their skills and overcoming their limitations, persuading them to lead with compassion as well as intellect. Valuable information is provided on how to define the 21 laws of a leader and why they matter, important leadership examples offered by the Bible, how a person’s character is significant to leadership abilities, and how to help self while assisting others. School Administrators must understand that they have a responsibility to lead from an ethical perspective.

This review of the literature on 21 leadership laws focuses on these nine laws.

Schools, religious institutions, or organizations cannot advance further than the limits that its leadership permits. This is why school districts will fire Superintendents when they are dissatisfied with the progression of their schools. One of
