Challenging principles for leaders to consider.

Loved it!

I read this for work and I found it very interesting, insightful and helpful. I am excited to see where this new found knowledge will take me

The subtitle should read: How to be a great leader like me.
Maxwell has some great principles that are well worth living by. Unfortunately, too much of the book is about how to be "successful". And I think Maxwell is self-aggrandizing.
It's a great read for those who are on what David Brooks calls 'the first mountain', striving for external affirmation and visible success. But if you're looking for a book on leading in humility or leading like Jesus, look elsewhere. Maxwell's faith is literally an epilogue, both in the structure of the book and in the philosophy. I had hoped for so much more given his reputation.

Tan solo en los primeros capítulos pude darme cuenta que aprendería mucho de este libro. Me leí la versión revisada y actualizada que lanzaron en honor a los 10 años de publicación del libro. Esta versión me encantó porque incluye exámenes que puedes hacer como autoevaluación, los cuales siento que fueron muy efectivos para abrir mis ojos ante algunos errores que estaba cometiendo y cómo mejorarlos.

My boss requested a few of us read this book. I am solely posting this to see if he sees it and says something......

Overall, I didn't love it. You all know this had no murder or crime so it really didn't meet my standards.

In all seriousness, I enjoyed aspects of this book but I think it is largely repetitive. The stories were a nice addition but they were all massive companies and showing how the leaders step up. I didn't think there was anything new or innovative in this book.

John maxwell is a great speaker, author and leader this book should be a pre requisite to anyone who is in charge of leading anyone and everyone is :) the 21 laws lays out the way a leader should lead and ways you can Improve and grow your #leadership my personal favorite is " the law of explosive growth" this is the book that every leader should read!!!

did it on audio while driving to army training

Didn’t add enough value on top of the actual book.

The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership felt a bit dated to me. Maxwell’s insights are foundational, but the examples lack relevance for today’s rapidly changing, tech-driven work environments.

I appreciate Maxwell's experience, but some of his 'laws' seem rigid. Not every leader fits into these 'irrefutable' molds, especially in modern, more inclusive workplaces.

Explains the best of what basic and advanced leadership skills everyone should strive to master.

Love John Maxwell. Great story telling, examples, and actionable steps to take.
