Description: Few of us are natural-born leaders, according to John C. Maxwell, author of Developing the Leader Within You. Fortunately though, "the traits that are the raw material of leadership can be acquired," he promises. "Link them up with desire and nothing can keep you from becoming a leader. This book will supply the leadership principles. You must supply the desire." True to his words, Maxwell offers a detailed and inspiring primer on becoming a leader. Even the Table of Contents reads like a motivational poster. Maxwell (The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader), who is the founder of INJOY, a Christian-based leadership program, debunks the myth that strong leaders must have big egos and spend all their time harnessing personal power. Instead, he elevates leadership to a spiritual act of service: "The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership." Maxwell relies on real-life anecdotes, short paragraphs, charts, and numerous lists to make his wisdom accessible. As a result, his writing often seems simplistic, with a self-help tone. Nonetheless, in teaching readers how to bring out the best in themselves as well as others, Maxwell offers a worthwhile life lesson that extends far beyond the workplace. --Gail Hudson

Review Summary: Top Notch Primer on Leadership |
Date: 2008-11-23 |
|
| |
Details: Developing the Leader within you by John Maxwell is a great starting point to learn about leadership. In it, Dr. Maxwell describes what leadership is (influence), the five levels of leadership, and what you need to do in order to become an effective leader. Having served in several leadership positions in both the military and IT consulting industry, I think that the lessons, insights, and advise contained within the book are very helpful.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is new to leadership, or wanting to learn about it. As other reviewers have noted, Developing the Leader within You is a great stating point. For those who are not leaders, it is worth reading so that you understand what an effective leader looks and acts like. Lastly, I do think this book is great for experienced leaders who may need a reminder what it is all about. |

Review Summary: Helpful Book |

Details: I ordered what I believed to be a "NEW" book, but it came to me as a "USED" book, even with a personal inscription inside to the previous owner. I was annoyed but on a 'time crunch' for a class using this book, so I couldn't send it back for a new one. I will be more cautious, IF I purchase from Amazon again or from the Seller, "nonchalantd". In fact, the "condition" on the product detail said, 'NEW'. Deceiving or blatant lie? |

Details: Great leadership book - very inspiring and takes one through how to closely develop inherent leadership skills. Also loved "Running with the Rhinos" in relation to this as well. Running with the Rhinos: Courageous Leadership for a Complex World |

Details: This book was good for me, with my little experience in leadership. He keeps the concepts very easy to understand. He adds tons of examples and real life stories throughout the book. I enjoyed having examples, because it made the concepts he was discussing make more sense. I would recommend this to anyone in early leadership. |

Details: John C. Maxwell's book, Developing the Leader Within You, will no doubt become a classic. Maxwell's approaches to leadership are easy to understand and put into daily practice. This book is the starting-gate for any person desiring to lead and is also essential for the well-seasoned leader because of the concrete principles.
We hear so much about the dog-eat-dog world and it is refreshing to be reminded that we are called to become something greater. This book will alter your mindset, challenge your faith, and prod you to serve others while building a strong team. |
