Leadership Is a Journey: John Maxwell's Law of Process
Great leadership doesn’t happen overnight. Instead, it’s a daily commitment to growth, reflection, and intentional actions. John Maxwell shares this powerful truth in his book, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, stating, “The secret of success is found in your daily agenda” (p. 41). This week, we’re unpacking The Law of Process, which reminds us that leadership is a marathon, not a sprint.
Whether you're navigating spiritual warfare, leading a ministry, or building a healthy, Jesus-centered community, this principle is foundational. Leadership is cultivated through deliberate, daily efforts—small steps that, over time, lead to extraordinary breakthroughs.
Step into the Process of Leadership
The Law of Process teaches us that leaders aren’t made in a day, but developed daily. Each decision you make, each habit you cultivate, builds the character, wisdom, and spiritual strength needed to lead others effectively—not just for yourself but for a kingdom impact.

Why the Daily Process Matters
We often look at great leaders and believe they were born with a gift. But the truth is, their success stems from years of preparation, discipline, and small victories. This process is particularly important when leading in faith-based roles. Why? Because overcoming spiritual warfare and fostering Kingdom values requires leaders who are steadfast, courageous, and intentional.
Here’s why the process is essential:
Formation of Character
Leadership isn’t just about skills; it’s about integrity, humility, and perseverance. These are qualities built over time through daily actions and choices made with the Holy Spirit.
Gaining Spiritual Strength
Great leaders rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance. Cultivating daily habits like prayer and scripture reading strengthens your spirit for the battles ahead.
Building Trust and Influence
Trust is earned gradually, and leadership influence grows as you consistently show up for those you lead.
Each step forward in the process equips you not just for the challenges of today, but for the greater assignments God has for you in the future.
Simple Daily Habits to Elevate Leadership
Here are three habits you can incorporate into your daily agenda to align with Maxwell’s Law of Process:
1. Start Your Day with Prayer
Prayer isn’t just checking off a box—it’s a lifeline. Spend time daily seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength from God. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where you need to grow as a leader.
2. Commit to Lifelong Learning
Leadership thrives on growth, and growth comes from learning. Dedicate time each day to read, reflect, or listen to teachings that expand your knowledge and sharpen your skills. Use this inspiration to grow not just in your leadership, but also in your walk with God.
"The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out." Proverbs 18:15
3. Journal Your Reflections
Write down your thoughts, prayers, and decisions each day. Journaling creates space for reflection and allows you to track your growth over time. It’s also a helpful tool for processing victories, struggles, and revelations from God.
Pro tip: Dedicate a section in your journal to leadership lessons you’re learning. Review them regularly for encouragement and insight.
4. Make Time for Growth Reading
John Maxwell advises, “Growth is not an accident; it’s a choice” (The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, p. 2). Challenge yourself to read books or articles that foster leadership growth and expand your perspective. Consider starting with Maxwell’s The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership or faith-based books on leadership.

The Role of Accountability in Leadership Development
Even as spiritual leaders, we’re not meant to walk this path alone. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 27:17, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
If you want to grow as a leader, surround yourself with people who challenge, inspire, and hold you accountable. Consider establishing these relationships:
Mentors to share wisdom and guidance.
A Coach to help with clarity and next steps.
Peers to encourage and challenge you.
A Community to support you through spiritual battles and breakthrough moments.
Accountability isn’t a weakness—it’s a strength. It pushes you to stay consistent and focused on the big picture.
This Week’s Challenge
This week, Maxwell encourages us to put the Law of Process into action. Challenge yourself to focus on one habit you can commit to daily, such as:
Praying for clarity and spiritual strength.
Journaling your wins and lessons.
Reading 10 minutes of a leadership book and scripture.
Action Steps:
Practice your habit every day this week.
Write down reflections on how it’s shifting your mindset and leadership.
Share one takeaway with a friend, mentor, or in a trustworthy community like ours.
Small Daily Steps, Eternal Results
Leadership isn’t about sudden transformations—it’s about consistent faithfulness to God’s calling and intentional growth. Every day is an opportunity to grow spiritually, develop your character, and prepare for the Kingdom assignments awaiting you.
