#1 The Law of the Lid states that leadership ability is the lid that determines a person’s level of effectiveness. The lower an individual’s ability to lead, the lower the lid on his potential. The higher the leadership, the greater the effectiveness.

#2 The McDonald brothers, Dick and Maurice, opened a small drive-in restaurant in Pasadena in 1937. Their business grew rapidly, and by 1948, they had moved the operation to San Bernardino, a working-class boomtown fifty miles east of Los Angeles. They eliminated the carhops and served only walk-up customers.

#3 The McDonald brothers were successful restaurant owners, but they lacked the leadership skills to make their franchise idea work. They failed because they were not leaders.

#4 The lid in the life and leadership of Ray Kroc was sky high. Between 1955 and 1959, Kroc succeeded in opening 100 restaurants. Four years later, there were 500 McDonald’s. Today the company has opened more than 21,000 restaurants in 100 countries.
