From the Paper:

"John Maxwell's book "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" (1998) joins a long list of books teaching elements of leadership, many with a numbered list as a way of ordering the information. The subtitle of the book is "Follow Them and People Will follow you," a promise that the author addresses by showing ways of understanding every task and of shaping one's personal behavior to lead others. In describing these different laws, the author provides examples in the form of stories about people facing different situations, then analyzes their reactions and how well they meet the challenges they face. The first of these stories involves two brothers in the 1930s who moved to California and eventually opened a theater in Glendale. They later opened a small drive-in restaurant in Pasadena, eventually moving to San Bernardino. The company they created was named after them, McDonald's, and it was profitable for them."
