false 183554 8 Few of us are natural-born leaders, according to John C. Maxwell, author of <I>Developing the Leader Within You</I>. 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.<p>Maxwell (<I>The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader</I>), 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. <I>--Gail Hudson</I> 177444 1993 Developing the Leader Within You total:370|5:117|4:143|3:88|2:19|1:3| 370 1462 596 45 1 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 12 20:48:22 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 12 21:02:40 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Dec 02 09:01:26 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 09:02:52 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sun Sep 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 13:44:06 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 13:45:26 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Mon Mar 09 06:02:37 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 06:02:37 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Mar 03 10:17:26 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 03 10:17:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 20:50:32 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 20:51:08 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 19:34:48 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 19:35:47 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 23:10:32 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 13:37:09 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Mar 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jul 22 16:54:19 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 05 13:57:29 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 20:27:39 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 04:51:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Mar 19 06:00:36 -0700 2007 Mon Mar 19 06:02:16 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jan 21 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 03 18:32:47 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 09 16:20:16 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jul 13 20:02:18 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 13 20:06:16 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Nov 18 10:33:24 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 06 21:57:42 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 01 08:00:24 -0700 2008 Thu May 01 08:01:56 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Mar 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jan 08 06:54:07 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 09 07:30:02 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jun 14 20:31:39 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 14 20:41:55 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Mar 20 07:00:10 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 20 07:04:15 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue May 01 12:58:22 -0700 2007 Tue May 01 12:59:29 -0700 2007
