Recommendation

Leadership expert and prolific author John Maxwell offers 26 perceptive lessons for both new and experienced leaders. Maxwell peppers his book with great quotations from famous leaders and with warm personal anecdotes that illustrate his leadership lessons. He explains why leaders should learn from their experiences and from other people, why they need to understand people to lead them, and what leadership demands. He offers easy, practical formulas, tools and aphorisms. Maxwell’s encouraging advice, while not innovative, is reliably solid. getAbstract recommends his worthy lessons to seasoned leaders and up-and-comers alike.

Take-Aways

  • Becoming a worthy leader requires focus and hard work.
  • Everyone makes mistakes. Smart leaders don’t make the same mistake twice.
  • Leaders must learn constantly. Often they learn from experience, an excellent teacher. What counts are not your experiences themselves, but how you deal with them.
