Product Description

What would happen if a top expert with more than 40 years of leadership experience were willing to distill everything he had learned about leadership into a handful of life-changing principles just for you? It would change your life.

John C. Maxwell has done exactly that in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. He has combined insights learned from his thirty-plus years of leadership successes and mistakes with observations from the worlds of business, politics, sports, religion, and military conflict. The result is a revealing study of leadership delivered as only a communicator like Maxwell can.

For the Leader, Follower and Lifelong Learner - a Must Read for the Boss AND Their Team!
This book is a helpful and insightful peek into the lifelong process of leadership development and self improvement. As a student of many different leadership courses, workshops and seminars, I can honestly say the language and terminology of John C. Maxwell is the most applicable to everyday life. I have been an avid believer in lifelong learning but never before considered leadership as a subject that demanded lifelong learning as well.

In a detailed and succinct fashion, Maxwell outlines each one of his laws with constructive concepts and examples that are easy for anyone to understand whether you are a CEO or a student. He uses real world leaders as examples of the successful and unsuccessful leaders of not only the United States but the world; everyone from Mother Teresa to the McDonald brothers are critiqued and praised for the leadership contributions to business and societies around the world.

Maxwell also explains that in order to understand leadership, you have to understand what leadership is not. Offering a counter-definition is a critical component of recognizing leadership both as a concept and a practice. He dispels the myths and stereotypes associated with leadership including the management myth, the entrepreneur myth, the knowledge myth, the pioneer myth, the position myth and much more - but I will not detail each one for you here, you need to buy the book!

I recommend this book because I believe that everyone and anyone can be a leader in their own right - they just have to want it. What better way to get what you want then reading a book that outlines each and every step for you? This book would make a great gift for a boss to give to his/her employees for any holiday or for no occasion at all except with the goal of self improvement and developing a better team. Happy leading!

A Must Read
I received this book as a gift years back and all I can say is that I pick up something new every single time I read this book. This is one of those books that stand the test of time. Whether you lead a team of 10 or lead a team of 1, it will only help you understand who you are as a leader, and who you should be.

John Maxwell shows you, through simple observation, common mistakes and helpful insights to becoming the best leader we can. He gives you tools to use and apply to our daily lives.

Great!
I'm currently taking a 7 week course through my church based on John Maxwell's dvd version of "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" and purchased the workbook for the weekly pre-prep reading. This is by far the best and most helpful leadership resource that I've read/taken. I highly recommend all versions.
