Summary: Good short reading to help improve one's leadership skills.
Review: I enjoyed reading Maxwell's treatment of leadership qualities. As one trained in leadership and management (career military officer now retired & working in industry) I found Maxwell's treatment of the subject to be in a good format and at a good level for helping my organization's management team to develop / improve leadership skills.

Summary: If you want to refocus your life, read this book!
Review: John Maxwell has written a wonderful little and extremely pointed book on leadership. It gets to the heart of what it takes to be the type of person that others would want to follow. It not only applies to business but also to personal relationships and families. It is a "how to" book that points out a quality of a leader then develops it with a story and then shows you how to create a habit of improving. Would make a great gift for a teenager, college student, business person or family member.
Rating:
Summary: Good overview of qualities
Review: I enjoyed this book because it gets into the souls of supervisors and examinines their motivations and what one can do to be more successful at leadership. If you believe you will like this book, I also recommend a book that addresses qualities & promotes learning of skills for use at work: "The Leader's Guide: 15 Essential Skills."

Summary: A Book To Share with Your Entire Team...
Review: The temptation will be to read this cover to cover in onesitting... But this is a book you need to read "one chapter perday" for 21 days... Great illustrations of what real leadersreally do. Also includes excellent suggestions for ways to internalize these 21 attributes. I had to buy a copy for each of my Team... This is John Maxwell's best thinking on the tangible qualities of effective leadership.

Summary: leadership simplified
Review: Written to complement The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, this book will help you identify and develop the personal qualities you need to become a more effective leader.
Maxwell does an excellent job of getting to the heart of each quality in a few short pages. He starts with two relevant quotations to start you thinking. He then gives you a short real-life example of that particular quality in action.
He breaks each principle down into specific applications, gives you a brief period where you can assess your own effectiveness, offers you concrete ways to improve yourself, and wraps each chapter up with a profound thought that will stay with you long after you have closed the cover.
What you get out of this book depends on how you read it. This is a very simple read, and you may be tempted to race through it and miss some key points. Maxwell rightly suggests that you walk through each quality methodically, giving it the attention that it warrants based on your current level of competence.
While the material warrants five stars, some spelling mistakes and the author's use of his own quotes dropped it down a notch for me. Otherwise, an excellent handbook for improving your personal leadership qualities.
