Developing the Leaders Around You
Hi,
This is not a review.
The picture of book reads, “Developing the LEADERS AROUND you.”
The written description reads, “Developing the LEADER WITHIN You.”
The title given does not match the picture of the book. Help!
Definitely easy to read with many stories and acronyms. There were a few golden nuggets in here, but it was mainly inspirational fluff. There were plenty of overgeneralized how-to’s, but little was practical for me. I also have a number of questions about his definition of leadership. There are much better books out there.
I have to admit that I didn’t care for this as much as most of John Maxwell’s other books. The information is great and there are a lot of points that can be pulled from this, but it just felt like the book was a bunch of lists within lists. It was actually difficult to digest.
This is one of those books that you can really only read a few pages at a time instead of trying to take in a bunch in one sitting. But even doing this, you’ll find that each list is often accompanied by sub-lists and even sub-lists of sub-lists. Again, all the information is great, but you get lost a bit on what list you’re reading.
With that said, Developing is still a must-read for any business leader, manager or supervisor. Maxwell provides the framework for not only finding but creating great leaders within your organization. He takes you through the process step by step (and step within step) of why and how to turn your employees into a strong leadership team.
This book is a great book with tons of information and set out with a great spiritual strength. Reading level is medium difficulty but worth the personal stretch.
