⭐️ 3.5 stars.
This was the first version of this book I've read and I actually enjoyed it more than I thought i would!! I thought the examples and the stories really tied each law of leadership together really well. I did, however, think the chapters dragged on a little too long.

In one of the later chapters the author says the first version of a book he wrote had each chapter 4-5 pages. I honestly would have preferred that version. The book feels very essay style, so a solid 4-5 pages per law would have been great for me personally. We don't want to beat a dead horse, John.

Fantastic book!

The best from the best!

Succinct, practical and relevant. John Maxwell walks the talk. This book is relevant to any leader or potential leader at any point in their journey, read it but more importantly use it!

Managers verses Leaders - just being assigned a position doesn't make you a leader - individuals with a higher leadership rank (1-10) will not follow a lower ranked leader unless it is for some specific goal - trying to create the Big MO.

A must leadership book read !!!!

This is a short and powerful book. Turns out you don't need a tome to convey the core principles. Even though there are 21 of them, this overgrown listacle is still very on point. Each one gives you a compass to set your behavior and make decisions by if you want to lead others in a way that will actually work. John Maxwell is an undisputed master on this topic, so if you are interested in leading people in any capacity, there are 21 chapters in here that will serve you well.

I’d give this book 3 and a half stars probably. I had to read it for one of my classes, and the concepts themselves were great. I see how each of the laws are important and why they were included. However, I think two or three of the laws were really the same concept when it gets down to it. My favorite thing about the book itself is the section at the end of each chapter suggesting ways to apply that law to your own life. I wish the book had focused more on that aspect other than explaining the law for 10-15 pages after the meaning has been made pretty clear. Overall, I liked the tone of the author and I think that the book was perfect for the purpose of my class.

Such a fantastic read. If you are new in leadership this is the book for you

There are some great principles to leadership that most don't really think of. This not only teaches those principles, but also gives you the capability to interpret some leadership styles that are around you.

Concise and to the point. With a penchant for one-liners and a good story.

The Table of Contents is excellent! You can understand his thesis and arguments just by reading that. I think it's easy to take for granted how clear and well written the book is. Maxwell isn't trying to blow your mind with previously unheard of truths, but he does communicate his essential definitions for leadership in a way that makes sense and is easy for anyone to understand.

Just because it's simple and almost "no, duh" sometimes, doesn't mean it is not profoundly true. And, when a person can communicate ideas in their most basic and simplistic form, it usually means that person has a very good understand of what that idea is all about.

This is Maxwell's definition of (great) leadership that everyone can understand and begin to apply.

I’ve read many books relating to this topic – Leadership. But I applied it so far less than 50%. I remember when Ps LK and Sis J approached me asking me to be Worship Team Leader and Cell Group leader, I was reluctant and stressed

It is a classic for a reason!
