I think there were important lessons in this book, but they were obfuscated by Maxwell's 'horn tooting' and 'back slapping'.
Shortly after these examples though, he lost me. This is a book all leaders, born or made, should read. He supports the laws with real business stories and leadership anecdotes, then he shows you how to apply these laws each chapter ends with practical strategies and activities to help you reflect and grow your leadership abilities. Another great book, Leadership 2. I attended a DEC meeting at Toastmasters recently. A friend of mine discussed this book during the meeting. I liked what she said.
At this point all I can say is that I enjoyed how I felt about what she said as I do not recall exactly the point she made. That is a theory I have been testing lately; we rarely can describe the content of what was said but merely react to the how what was said made us feel.
This is very much the case in this regard. Anyhow, I checked this out of our public library. Hey, it's good work if you can get it, writing self-help books for the Christian market.
This one explains carefully things like how important it is to listen. And it chooses the cutest little examples - like how the McDonald's founders were nice guys and good salespeople but they really didn't have a leadership perspective so the restaurant never got going until this Ray guy came along He left out the part about the invention that freeze dried potatoes. In fact, any time anything might have Concise, Maxwell dictates the 21 laws a leader must follow to get others to follow the leader.
Using numerous examples drawn from a variety of people from Mother Teresa to the founders of McDonalds, Maxwell show how people have either used the laws successfully This is an awesome on leadership.
I recommend it to all who obtain a leadership position and to all of those whom desire one. Enjoy and Be Blessed. As a leader who has read this book several times, I take offense to some of the poor reviews listed. Reading the reviews, it's easy to see that those who didn't enjoy it lack the ability to comprehend the enormity of the information they were given. This book will change your life, it is considered by the greatest leaders in the world to be THE premier book on leadership.
To some of the individuals who didn't like the book, I will offer this word of advice: It is hard to learn something new, whe Despite everything, this book was quite good. Maxwell is capable of leaning into the cliches, and he points to some leaders who were painfully incompetent, but who are lauded generally for other reasons, but setting all that aside, the principles outlined in this book were very, very good.
My boss, who made out leadership team read this, is absolutely gonna hate my review. But this was seriously the most bullshit leadership training book I have ever read. During my high-performance leadership program HPL and I was working on my leadership skills. I was searching in the youtube to find some easy and quake audiobooks that can help me for this platform. I saw this book, and I promised myself that from March to 20 may I have to apply some of the rules written in the book to my life.
So, let start to tell you my experience and what I felt about it step by step. Let start only with rules I have comments. Rule number 1: The Law of the Lid: Leadership In this book John Maxwell attempts to present what he deems to be twenty-one irrefutable laws of leadership. In many ways they are irrefutable since they are based on common sense and experience. What Maxwell has done is clearly articulate what leadership is all about.
Maxwell uniquely contributes to the genre of leadership literature by importing much of the Christian worldview. Although there Feb 05, Tony Jr. Leadership is a vast topic of study. In my opinion, with this book, John has put together the most complete, practical and informative book on leadership.
This book should be read and consistently re-read by every leader in any capacity. This book will help me becom This book was fine. It provides a lot of common sense ideas that warrant repeating. Although Maxwell provides many great examples to illustrate his 21 laws, he uses way too many sports examples. If you're not a sports fan and I'm not , all of the sports illustrations are completely irrelevant.
I couldn't care less. Awesome book. I was not planning on becoming a leader, and I picked this up as a self development book, which I recommend you do too, but as cheasy as it might sound, it made me search and find the leader in me. As the title indicates, John presents in this book 21 fundamental laws of leadership. The laws are prefaced by four core concepts: '1 The laws can be learned 2 The laws can stand alone 3 The laws carry consequences with them 4 These laws are the foundation of leadership' The author then goes on to present the 21 laws, in greater detail filled with examples from both his personal experience and experiences of other great leaders.
The laws are summarized below: '1- The law of the lid: leadership abi Most of these 'laws' are common sense business. Most of his examples are cited elsewhere--sometimes multiple times--throughout the literature. I wasn't even going to review this book, but it might be interesting as a study in how to write a series of best-selling 'self-help' books that have according to the book jacket sold over thirteen million copies. There is only one positive thing I can say about this book: it doesn't mention mice or cheese.
The 21 'laws' could more accurately be called 21 truisms, but they are each given an important sounding title like 'The Law of Process', 'The Law of Connection' and so forth; they amount to say Maxwell's book is enlightening and fresh. He has given me an entirely new perspective on leadership.
Although I am not currently in a position to lead, he has inspired me to do so. He uses encouraging and inspiring language that is easy to read and hard to put down. He is very blunt and presents the material in a very 'common-sense' way.
