Highly recommended

A short concise text on leadership that entails corporate， personal and team environments。 It works through aspects of each and what makes leaders。 This book would actually be a great book for rising juniors or seniors in high school， athletes on up。 Any individual that is hired for a position as a team lead should also read and understand the contents and how interactions between people can make people better leaders。

William Gibbs McAdoo once remarked of President Harding that his oratory resembled “an army of pompous phrases moving over the landscape in search of an idea。” The same comment could be made about Maxwell’s Leading In Tough Times。 The most dazzling paragraph therein is to be found on its final page， About The Author。 Maxwell’s accomplishments are unquestionably impressive。 A New York Times bestseller; a #1 leader in business with over thirty-three million books sold in fifty languages; a recipie William Gibbs McAdoo once remarked of President Harding that his oratory resembled “an army of pompous phrases moving over the landscape in search of an idea。” The same comment could be made about Maxwell’s Leading In Tough Times。 The most dazzling paragraph therein is to be found on its final page， About The Author。 Maxwell’s accomplishments are unquestionably impressive。 A New York Times bestseller; a #1 leader in business with over thirty-three million books sold in fifty languages; a recipient of the Horatio Alger Award and the Mother Teresa Prize， and an acolyte to numerous Fortune 500 CEOs。 I’ve even read a handful of books referencing his sound wisdom。 My trousers were halfway off when I received the advanced reading copy。So， you can imagine my disappointment as I sat down all hot and bothered to study what ended up being a grab bag of trite platitudes， buzz words and free associations dressed up as pith for le développement du leadership。 I kept thinking to myself， “Doesn’t this sort of break with his rule of ‘underpromise yet overdeliver’？”It’s unfortunate; this was my first exposure to a man well respected， heavily quoted and treated with great deference in his field。 I suspect Maxwell wanted a quick buck so he cranked out this literary equivalent to the Hyde Park Speaker’s Corner or the drive-thru window。 Having said that， I am not rating it 1 out of 5 stars。 I reserve those for books I can’t finish。 There were some valuable tidbits， to be sure。 I did enjoy his insights on the art of listening。 I learned a couple of things I intend to personally implement。 The rest of it， however， could’ve been drafted by a goldfish。 2 out of 5 stars。 Thank you for the eARC I received in exchange for an honest review。 Better luck on the next one esteemed Mr。 Maxwell。 。。。more

I've read a number of Maxwell's previous books， and while I certainly enjoyed this one， I think I got less out of it than I otherwise might have if I hadn't read many others。 It's a great introduction to his books and may be better geared toward "Maxwell newbies" wondering where to start！ （Or， if you've already read some， it may help you decide which to read next。）I particularly appreciated the specifics around "leading oneself，" something Maxwell strongly advocates for and goes into more depth I've read a number of Maxwell's previous books， and while I certainly enjoyed this one， I think I got less out of it than I otherwise might have if I hadn't read many others。 It's a great introduction to his books and may be better geared toward "Maxwell newbies" wondering where to start！ （Or， if you've already read some， it may help you decide which to read next。）I particularly appreciated the specifics around "leading oneself，" something Maxwell strongly advocates for and goes into more depth on here。 And， if the covid pandemic isn't a "tough time" requiring solid leaders 。。。 I don't know what is， haha！I received an eARC of the book from the publisher via NetGalley。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

Great content that helps increase the effectiveness of my leadership。

This is a “new” book from John Maxwell， created using content from several of his previous books。 He writes that good leaders understand that adversity and challenges are actually opportunities to rise up in leadership。 He writes that the first step you must take as you approach tough times is to prepare yourself as a leader。 One of the most challenging tasks any leader faces is being a change agent and leading people through tough times。 But it can also be one of the most rewarding。 As a leader This is a “new” book from John Maxwell， created using content from several of his previous books。 He writes that good leaders understand that adversity and challenges are actually opportunities to rise up in leadership。 He writes that the first step you must take as you approach tough times is to prepare yourself as a leader。 One of the most challenging tasks any leader faces is being a change agent and leading people through tough times。 But it can also be one of the most rewarding。 As a leader in tough times， you need to become a change agent。 You need to help others embrace positive change， even when it takes them outside their comfort zone。 During tough times， your job is to motivate your team to keep moving forward despite the obstacles in their path。 During tough times， communication may be the leader’s most important skill。 Everything else hinges on it。 The book covers a wide variety of subjects related to leading in tough times， including servant leadership， growth， implementing change， overcoming teamwork， trust， challenges， risk， motivation， encouragement， communication， listening， asking questions， values， vision， decision making， leadership pressures， ethics， The book is sprinkled with interesting quotes， but not many illustrations as are normally included in his books， and lacking any references to his time leading as a pastor for twenty-five years， resulting in an overall lack of warmth that you would normally get from a Maxwell book。 Still， the content here is solid。 Below are some of my favorite quotes from the book: •tI believe the only worthy motivation for leadership is a desire to serve。 If you want to lead but are unwilling to serve people， I think you need to check your motives。 •tIf you are willing to embrace servanthood， not only will you become a better leader， you will help your team， help the people your team serves， and make the world a better place。 •tLeaders need to keep growing in order to keep leading。 They cannot expect their followers to grow and improve if they aren’t doing so as well。 This is especially important during tough times， because tough times bring change。 Confident leaders experience genuine joy in the success of others。 When others shine， so do they。 •tGood leaders focus on the needs and wants of their people， and as far as it is within their power， they make their people’s hopes and dreams a priority。 •tTrust is one of the foundations of effective leadership。 Trust is a two-way street。 If you want your team to trust you， you need to trust them。 That means you must value others enough to give them your trust。 •tOne of your jobs as a leader is to paint a picture of their future that inspires them to work harder today。 Tell them who they can become。 Show them what they could someday be doing。 This must be done with integrity， because as leaders， we never want to manipulate people。 We just want to help them envision the future。 •tRisk is rarely comfortable。 It requires us to get out of our comfort zone。 Yet that’s where we need to live in order to make changes and develop winning strategies。 •tYou will drastically increase your results if you stop doing what you’re not great at and instead focus on what you do best。 •tIf you care about people， treat them with respect， and build positive relationships with them， you actually have increased opportunities to have hard conversations with them that will help them to grow and perform better。 •tGood leaders communicate the vision of the organization once， then continually remind the team of it。 They don’t stop there。 They also communicate the vision through their own actions。 Modeling the vision helps people understand and embrace it in ways they may not have before。 。。。more
