An irrefutable must-read on leadership that is a simple and powerful list of guidelines to help build leadership in many arenas。

This is one of my favorite， and most helpful， leadership books （second only to The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni）， and the one I use more than any other in mentoring relationships。 John Maxwell has revised about 30 percent of the book， as well as streamlining some of it for this 25th Anniversary Edition。 There are exercises at the end of each chapter to help you apply each law to your life。 In addition， at the end of the book there is a leadership evaluation so that you can eva This is one of my favorite， and most helpful， leadership books （second only to The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni）， and the one I use more than any other in mentoring relationships。 John Maxwell has revised about 30 percent of the book， as well as streamlining some of it for this 25th Anniversary Edition。 There are exercises at the end of each chapter to help you apply each law to your life。 In addition， at the end of the book there is a leadership evaluation so that you can evaluate your aptitude for each law。 Each of the relatively short chapters， which contain stories that illustrate the law， cover one of the 21 laws， and are excellent to review and discuss in a mentoring session with an emerging leader。 Here are the laws as well as two favorite quotes for each law: THE LAW OF THE LID •tLeadership is the lid to your potential。 The lower your leadership ability， the lower the lid on your potential。 The higher your leadership ability， the higher the lid on your potential。 •tThe greater the impact you want to make， the greater your influence needs to be。 Whatever you will accomplish is restricted by your ability to lead others。 THE LAW OF INFLUENCE •tLeadership is influence—nothing more， nothing less。 •tIf you can’t influence people， then they will not follow you。 And if people won’t follow， you are not a leader。 THE LAW OF PROCESS •tYou may have been born with great natural gifts or few。 That’s not important in the end， because the ability to lead is really a collection of skills， nearly all of which can be learned and improved。 •tSuccessful leaders are learners。 And the learning process is ongoing， a result of self-discipline and perseverance。 The goal each day must be to get a little better， to build on the previous day’s progress。 THE LAW OF NAVIGATION •tOne thing all leaders have in common is the ability to see more and before—they see more than others do because they see the big picture， which not all people grasp。 And they see what’s coming before others do。 This gives them an advantage when it comes to navigating for the people they lead。 •tBalancing optimism and realism， intuition and planning， faith and fact can be very difficult。 But that’s what it takes to be effective as a navigating leader。 THE LAW OF ADDITION •tThe bottom line in leadership isn’t how far we advance ourselves， but how far we advance others。 That is achieved by serving others and adding value to their lives。 •tLeaders who add value by serving believe in their people before their people believe in them and serve others before they are served。 THE LAW OF SOLID GROUND •tTrust is the foundation of leadership。 •tNo leader can break trust with his people and expect to keep influencing them。 THE LAW OF RESPECT •tPeople don’t follow others by accident。 They follow individuals whose leadership they respect。 •tIf you continually respect others and consistently lead them well， you will continue to have followers。 THE LAW OF INTUITION •tLeaders must always be a few steps ahead of their best people， or they’re not really leading。 They can do that only if they are able to read trends。 •tReading people is perhaps the most important intuitive skill leaders can possess。 THE LAW OF MAGNETISM •tWho you attract is not determined by what you want。 It’s determined by who you are。 •tIf you want to attract better people， become the kind of person you desire。 THE LAW OF CONNECTION •tPerhaps the most impacting thing you can do as a leader and communicator is to practice what you preach。 •tPeople can tell when you genuinely care about them and value them as individuals， and it draws them to you。 THE LAW OF THE INNER CIRCLE •tThose closest to you determine the level of your success。 •tOnly if you reach your potential as a leader do your people have a chance to reach their potential。 THE LAW OF EMPOWERMENT •tWhen you equip those you lead to do something， you’re not just stepping back and giving them the freedom to succeed。 You’re giving them the means to succeed。 •tThe main ingredient for empowering others is a high belief in people。 If you believe in others， they will believe in themselves。 THE LAW OF THE PICTURE •tAs a leader， the first person I need to lead is me。 The first person that I should try to change and improve is me。 My standards of excellence should be higher for myself than those I set for others。 •tAs you lead others， never forget that you set the tone for everyone you lead。 The values you model will be shared by the people on your team。 THE LAW OF BUY-IN •tPeople buy into the leader first， then the leader’s vision。 •tYour success is measured by your ability to actually take the people where they need to go。 But you can do that only if the people first buy into you as a leader。 THE LAW OF VICTORY •tWhen the pressure is on， great leaders are at their best。 Whatever is inside them comes to the surface。 They find ways for their team to win。 •tThe best leaders feel compelled to rise to a challenge and do everything in their power to achieve victory for their people。 THE LAW OF THE BIG MO •tMomentum exaggerates a leader’s success and makes him look better than he really is。 •tIt takes a leader to create momentum。 THE LAW OF PRIORITIES •tAs a leader， you should spend most of your time working in your areas of greatest strength。 •tLeaders should get out of their comfort zone but stay in their strength zone。 THE LAW OF SACRIFICE •tThe heart of good leadership is sacrifice， not personal gain。 •tThe heart of leadership is putting others ahead of yourself。 THE LAW OF TIMING •tGood leaders recognize that when to lead is as important as what to do and where to go。 Timing is often the difference between success and failure in an endeavor。 •tIf you want your organization， department， or team to win， you must pay attention to timing。 Only the right action at the right time will bring success。 Anything else exacts a high price。 THE LAW OF EXPLOSIVE GROWTH •tThe only way to lead leaders is to become a better leader yourself。 If you keep growing and stay ahead of the people you lead， then you will be able to keep adding value to them。 •tThe best way for you to reach your potential， improve your team， help your organization， and make a difference is to attract， develop， and lead leaders rather than just followers。 THE LAW OF LEGACY •tLegacy is not leaving something for people。 Legacy is leaving something in people。 •tThe best leaders lead today with tomorrow in mind by making sure they invest in leaders who will carry their legacy forward。 。。。more

John Maxwell has updated his 21 Laws of Leadership for these times and truth is Good Leadership is timeless。 This book is a good primer on who you have to be as a person to be a credible leader and how you have to act to be effective。 It's important to understand that Maxwell comes at leadership not from a command and control perspective but more from the vantage point of servant leadership。 Whether you are a new leader or an experienced veteran there's much to absorb in this book。Thanks to NetG John Maxwell has updated his 21 Laws of Leadership for these times and truth is Good Leadership is timeless。 This book is a good primer on who you have to be as a person to be a credible leader and how you have to act to be effective。 It's important to understand that Maxwell comes at leadership not from a command and control perspective but more from the vantage point of servant leadership。 Whether you are a new leader or an experienced veteran there's much to absorb in this book。Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for a candid review。 。。。more

While I have heard of this book， this is the first time I've actually sat down to read it， and found it quite enlightening。 This edition is the 25th Anniversary edition， and with that allows more improvements over the earlier editions。 These include streamlining some of the book， adding some new laws， combining previous laws， and even updating stories told within the laws themselves。 As I said before， this is my first time reading this book， and so I can't speak to whether or not it's better tha While I have heard of this book， this is the first time I've actually sat down to read it， and found it quite enlightening。 This edition is the 25th Anniversary edition， and with that allows more improvements over the earlier editions。 These include streamlining some of the book， adding some new laws， combining previous laws， and even updating stories told within the laws themselves。 As I said before， this is my first time reading this book， and so I can't speak to whether or not it's better than before， but this version is a very well thought out version。 Each law is understandable and the stories line up explaining his thoughts and views very well。 And while there is this list of 21 different laws， even John Maxwell points out that no one does all 21 laws well。 That's important， because I feel that I certainly have areas within this book to grow in， and quite honestly， some I never really thought about。 I appreciate his transparency of what good leadership looks like， with his guidelines as well as real world leader examples， from Martin King Jr to Mahatma Ghandi， from Michael Jordan to Mother Theresa。 From the McDonald brothers to Steve Jobs。 Even from good examples and bad。 Whether you are an experienced leader or a new leader。 It certainly has something for everyone to learn from。*I received a copy of this book from Netgalley。 This review is my own opinion* 。。。more

The exemplary people noted in the 21 laws are a bit dated and smeared; under light scrutiny Mother Teresa， Billy Graham， Robert E。 Lee， Colin Powell， Rudy Giuliani， etc。 haven't held up so well and admittedly this made it difficult to take Maxwell seriously。 That aside， there's still solid advice for becoming a better leader here。 I'd say several laws are repetitive and could be combined to deliver the same advice。 The exemplary people noted in the 21 laws are a bit dated and smeared; under light scrutiny Mother Teresa， Billy Graham， Robert E。 Lee， Colin Powell， Rudy Giuliani， etc。 haven't held up so well and admittedly this made it difficult to take Maxwell seriously。 That aside， there's still solid advice for becoming a better leader here。 I'd say several laws are repetitive and could be combined to deliver the same advice。 。。。more

After having read so many leadership books I started to wonder how come I missed noticing John Maxwell completely？ He writes and speaks beautifully in an encouraging and inspiring way。 During the course of reading this book I also happened to listen to some of his podcasts and realised this is a completely sales guy but nevertheless this fact doesn’t undermine the new teachings he is bringing to the area of leadership。 He has written 119 boks so far and this one book is one of his masterpieces。 After having read so many leadership books I started to wonder how come I missed noticing John Maxwell completely？ He writes and speaks beautifully in an encouraging and inspiring way。 During the course of reading this book I also happened to listen to some of his podcasts and realised this is a completely sales guy but nevertheless this fact doesn’t undermine the new teachings he is bringing to the area of leadership。 He has written 119 boks so far and this one book is one of his masterpieces。 If you are an aspiring leader， make sure you’re following John Maxwell 。。。more

Damn， one of the worst 'management' book i've ever encountered （and there was time i looked through some books that people were self printing）。The laws themselves are good but the whole premise of the book is "look at how amazing corporate 'merica is， let's just all be like them！"， at this day & age it just makes me barf a little。 On top of that Maxwell is a preacher so he brings many stories from the church and this ungodly marriage between god fearing Christian & corporate 'lets make the most Damn， one of the worst 'management' book i've ever encountered （and there was time i looked through some books that people were self printing）。The laws themselves are good but the whole premise of the book is "look at how amazing corporate 'merica is， let's just all be like them！"， at this day & age it just makes me barf a little。 On top of that Maxwell is a preacher so he brings many stories from the church and this ungodly marriage between god fearing Christian & corporate 'lets make the most money we can while killing babies & ruining the environment' America is just sick。Though Maxwell has at least 1 good book （the 360 degree leader） this book is good for the drain 。。。more

If you are in a position of leadership， or if you desire to be in a position of leadership， pick up this book and read it immediately。 Read it， read it again， and read it a third time。 The principles taught in this book are timeless and will help develop you into the leader that you want to be。

The book is phenomenal， very easy to read， and easy to apply。 Anybody can use the information in this book， it's not really tailored towards a specific personality type。 The best part about this book is that it applies not just to leadership but to every aspect of life。 I've been applying the principles from the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership every day and it has helped me immensely。 I highly recommend this book to any person who is looking for some help in their life and career。 The book is phenomenal， very easy to read， and easy to apply。 Anybody can use the information in this book， it's not really tailored towards a specific personality type。 The best part about this book is that it applies not just to leadership but to every aspect of life。 I've been applying the principles from the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership every day and it has helped me immensely。 I highly recommend this book to any person who is looking for some help in their life and career。 。。。more
