Developing the Leader Within You

A well known author. Knows his stuff in the area of leadership. My husband is planning to go into leadership within a church and I bought it for him. He found it really helpful.

I have read quite a few books on leadership now, all high quality. What impresses me about this book is that nearly every principle is backed up with practical examples or insights making it digestible and more understandable for the lay person. Maxwell also writes in a very warm style which is excellent for such subject matter.

I chose five stars because of the easy to read writing style and excellent quotes, stories and anecdotes that drive each point home. I liked the areas of leadership and how it applies not only to CEO 's and directors bug you can apply it to your home, business etc

Great book, can't wait to finish it, very helpful.

I found the item very useful and I had no problem with it and I did not wait for it too much but exactly the time suggest at the time of the purchasing. thank you

I purchased this as a gift. Having flicked through it I will be looking to purchase one for myself. This is a must for anyone looking to hone their leadership skills

Brilliant book to go with the similarly titles workbook. If you only want a read.

This book is clear and instructive in how to improve yourself as a leader both personally and in any leadership setting whether big or small.

To be perfectly honest, reading this book was a very uncertain (perhaps wild) choice for me. When assigned to read a book for a class based on fundamentals of leadership and/or small group communication, I chose this book on the Amazon.com website because it was the one that might be the most relatable and interesting to me as a college student. Theoretically, I could have opened it to discover a piece of literature wrapped in boredom and unsubstantiated generalizations regarding leadership. Thankfully, the book is a delight to read. It is a surprisingly captivating piece of non-fiction literature. Many books of this type that I have read in the past have offered broad generalizations, along with no stories, facts, or examples to back them up. However, this book is a completely different story. The author, John C. Maxwell, uses loads of wonderful quotes, stories, and lists to generate evidence for his very specific beliefs and claims concerning the hierarchy of leadership. The book also does an excellent job chronicling the various characteristics of leadership. The reader will easily be able to interpret the message that Maxwell tries repeatedly to project within the book: Leadership is a key attribute of any group. Without it, change, which is fundamental to the continued success and/or existence of any small group or society, will be hampered. Therefore, every individual should strive to meet the demands and needs of a group by gaining the many traits of leadership discussed within this book. Overall, the book is easy to follow and has a review section at the end of each chapter, which proved to be a valuable tool when used for further comprehension of the subject matter. According to the book, there is even an on-line leadership skills assessment survey. Unfortunately, an error message continually popped up on my computer's screen when trying to access the link, and when I tried to load the home page, it repeatedly made my computer freeze. After three or four failed attempts, I gave up on this endeavor. Perhaps other readers will be more successful in this endeavor. In conclusion, Developing the Leader Within You is a great introduction to the concept of leadership. The book is very well laid out, and Maxwell does a superb job of relaying the basics of leadership so that a wide variety of readers can understand and benefit from what he is saying. It provided me with much insight into just how important leadership is in terms of succeeding in our society today. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand more about the principles of leadership on an organizational and personal level.

For those who'd like to seek self improvement and learn what works for many others, this is a good read. Everyone can be a leader if he or she will it.
