Climb Without Cost
Table of Contents
Climb without cost wants the higher seat without paying the personal toll leadership requires.
Key Concept
- Want to go up without giving up and the toll booth stops you - sacrifice is the price of the climb.
- Failure mode of Law of Sacrifice - you can violate the law and pay; you cannot repeal it.
- Hub: 21 Laws of Leadership in the Bible - violation partner, not a second law lesson.
- Practice Law of Sacrifice - name the comfort you will lay down before you ask for the seat.
Level 1 - Recognize
Climb without cost means wanting more influence while refusing the personal price that comes with it.
Level 2 - Explain
Like demanding a summit photo without the hike, the title request arrives with empty hands.
Level 3 - Use
Before you ask for the next level, name one comfort you will lay down this month so the team can advance.
Level 4 - Connect
Seats of honor without the cup of cost hit the toll booth - up requires a down payment.
Level 5 - Create
Practice Law of Sacrifice - give up to go up; the climb is real only when the cost is paid.
Examples
- I wanted the director title and kept every Friday golf block - the climb stalled at the cost I refused.
- I asked for the lead role and would not drop the side projects - up without a down payment.
