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
