Drawing from John Maxwell's bestsellers Developing the Leader Within You, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, and Becoming a Person of Influence, Leadership 101 explores the timeless principles that have become Dr. Maxwell's trademark style. In a concise, straightforward style, Maxwell focuses on essential and time-tested qualities necessary for true leadership --influence, integrity, attitude, vision, problem-solving, and self-discipline --and guides readers through practical steps to develop true leadership in their lives and the lives of others.

Review Summary: Just can't get into it
Date: 2008-05-12
Details: This book is written in a weird manner. I've only made it through Part I, and he toots his own horn for almost it's entirety. I bought this based on the reviews, and I am sorry that I did. Even at $10, it's not worth it. I am inherently skeptical of "self-help" books, and this does nothing to change that opinion.
Skip it.
Review Summary: Not inspired from Best Practices

Details: Could be as an introudtion of a book on Leadership, because it just gives broad and theoretical ideas on Leadership.
