Product Description:
In this repackaged bestseller John Maxwell examines the differences between leadership styles, outlines principles for inspiring, motivating, and influencing others. These principles can be used in any organization to foster integrity and self-discipline and bring a positive change.
Developing the Leader Within You also allows readers to examine how to be effective in the highest calling of leadership by understanding the five characteristics that set 'leader managers' apart from 'run-of-the-mill managers.'
In this John Maxwell classic, he shows readers how to develop the vision, value, influence, and motivation required of successful leaders.
Amazon.com Review: Few of us are natural-born leaders, according to John C. Maxwell, author of Developing the Leader Within You. Fortunately though, 'the traits that are the raw material of leadership can be acquired,' he promises. 'Link them up with desire and nothing can keep you from becoming a leader. This book will supply the leadership principles. You must supply the desire.' True to his words, Maxwell offers a detailed and inspiring primer on becoming a leader. Even the Table of Contents reads like a motivational poster.
Maxwell (The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader), who is the founder of INJOY, a Christian-based leadership program, debunks the myth that strong leaders must have big egos and spend all their time harnessing personal power. Instead, he elevates leadership to a spiritual act of service: 'The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.' Maxwell relies on real-life anecdotes, short paragraphs, charts, and numerous lists to make his wisdom accessible. As a result, his writing often seems simplistic, with a self-help tone. Nonetheless, in teaching readers how to bring out the best in themselves as well as others, Maxwell offers a worthwhile life lesson that extends far beyond the workplace. --Gail Hudson

Developing the Leader Within You by John C. Maxwell, is an well-written manual that provides a step-by-step guide for developing yourself as a leader and how to extract those same qualities from the people the you work with. I read John C. Maxwell's Developing the Leader Within You as part of an assignment for a Small Group Communication class at the University of Pittsburgh. The book I chose to read for this assignment had to be of some interest to my career, and I chose this particular book because ... Read More

Developing the Leader within you by John Maxwell is a great starting point to learn about leadership. In it, Dr. Maxwell describes what leadership is (influence), the five levels of leadership, and what you need to do in order to become an effective leader. Having served in several leadership positions in both the military and IT consulting industry, I think that the lessons, insights, and advise contained within the book are very helpful.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is new ... Read More

I ordered what I believed to be a "NEW" book, but it came to me as a "USED" book, even with a personal inscription inside to the previous owner. I was annoyed but on a 'time crunch' for a class using this book, so I couldn't send it back for a new one. I will be more cautious, IF I purchase from Amazon again or from the Seller, "nonchalantd". In fact, the "condition" on the product detail said, 'NEW'. Deceiving or blatant lie?

Great leadership book - very inspiring and takes one through how to closely develop inherent leadership skills. Also loved "Running with the Rhinos" in relation to this as well. Running with the Rhinos: Courageous Leadership for a Complex World

This book was good for me, with my little experience in leadership. He keeps the concepts very easy to understand. He adds tons of examples and real life stories throughout the book. I enjoyed having examples, because it made the concepts he was discussing make more sense. I would recommend this to anyone in early leadership.
