Great book on leadership! Mr. Maxwell is a leadership expert for a reason.

currently working on this for my development training at work

An excellent book on leadership

A good primer. That's what it is. A lot of examples and stories to illustrate the 21 laws of leadership as Maxwell sees them. It made a nice listen on Audible, as it was narrated by the author himself.

Uno de los libros materiales de liderazgo que tuve y que fue en aquel tiempo un antes y después.

For a leader, this book will help you tremendously to add a few tools to your tool belt. For someone with no leadership experience, it too 5 most valuable reads.

Finally done Jake

Good read. The author backs up his laws with interesting scenarios from both history and personal life. This mix works well to break up the textbook-like layout. Would have liked more scenarios, as well as more emphasis (or a separate book) on the final chapter, which deals with personal purpose. I feel like all the other laws are tools with which to accomplish this personal purpose. At a point in time where we are surrounded by the profane and lacklustre political leadership, the final chapter is a good prompt to get readers thinking about higher values, legacy, and purpose.

Just what a management book should be. Concise with just enough anecdote to make it stick, not so much to just puff the page count. Well done.

A must read for leaders and aspiring leaders.

This is in the top 5 books I’ve ever read on any subject. Leadership can be written about in a “cringy” way depending on who the author is and what they are talking about. John Maxwell couldn’t be further from that. His writing skills and life experience truly shows in these 21 Laws and I hope you reference this book the rest of my life. Every chapter I read added value to my life and will grow me as a leader. This is a must read for anyone who desires to lead others.

As the first John Maxwell I've read, and it being abridged, there is some benefit of the doubt afforded to the author on my part. But this text is disappointing. It's made up of 21 short blips or "laws of leadership". It seems to vaguely portray members of the then-recent/current Bush 43' cabinet as a good example of leadership, with Condi Rice being a specific example. Maybe she was, but clearly, that means leadership and operational effectiveness must be two separate qualities since the administration presided over profoundly deep national security errors during her tenure. On the other end, to the author's credit, he did cite Bush' "leadership" during hurricane Katrina has an example of poor leadership. Curiously, he did not cite Bush's mediation between the Obama and McCain campaigns attempts in an attempt to navigate the start of the 2007-08' recession in his waning days as an example of good leadership, which he should have.

Comically, in the chapter discussing "The Law of the Picture", the label Maxwell gives for the notion that one ought to lead by example, Rudy Giuliani is the main "example" of someone practising this principle. Too bad there's no "Law of Wisdom" in his list, as he could have used that to pick better people who exemplify leadership for his illustrations.

Towards the end of the book, Maxwell cites one of his final "laws" for leadership, his "Law of Explosive Growth" where he describes a leadership franchise system, but it sort of sounds like a pyramid scheme. Maybe he should have used Bernie Madoff as his example for this chapter.

Looking up what Maxwell does, he's just a pastor that leads, what I imagine is a very homogenous evangelical following, and no with other real accomplishments under his name. So he's effectively done nothing of note outside of making a branding franchise... sounds familiar...

His laws as stated are more or less reasonable. Though a lot of them reduce to common sense, at the level of "leading something is hard so it requires sacrifice," or "you have to provide a vision your reports will buy in to". Literally, things anyone but a sociopath could probably intuit. I'll try his other books, perhaps the editors abridged over all the deep wisdom he wrote in this version while leaving only his platitudes.
