Developing the Leaders Around You
Why do some people achieve great personal success, yet never succeed in building a business or making an impact in their organization? John C. Maxwell knows the answer. "The greatest leadership principle that I have ever learned in over twenty-five years of leadership," says Maxwell, "is that those closest to the leader will determine the success level of that leader."

I've heard that Maxwell is repetitive with the content of his books, but since this was the first of his that I believe I've read I found it to be chock full of good leadership principles and lessons. I took rigorous notes throughout the book and had to go through it very slowly to really digest what he was saying so that I didn't breeze over a chapter or a section that really needed to be processed as to how I would then implement that principle in my leadership role.

I was inspired after reading "The 21 irrefutable laws of leadership" by John Maxwell and we had this book on the shelf. While not written as well it does hold a lot of value and I am putting the principles to work immediately. I'm looking forward to reading everything I can that John Maxwell has written.

I read this book for work, so I wasn't that into it in the beginning. Reading something when you are forced to read it is never as fun.
This book did have good ideas for developing leaders and lots of helpful platitudes, but nothing extraordinary or groundbreaking. If anything, the scope was too wide to be very effective.

I'm firmly of the belief that almost all business books should be about 50 pages long -- the rest is repetition. Maxwell has some good, if not original, things to say and gives me some ideas/incentive on what to do with "my dream team."
Once you figure out how to be a leader, this book helps you learn to build the leaders around you! I really like John Maxwell's style! May use this next with my team leaders...

At the time of reading I remember this being a very important book as I consider how to help others grow in leadership. I have just picked it back up to review again.
This one book made a paradigmic shift on how I thought of building a team. Your team makes you so better build leaders around you.

Great insights! Very useful. I'm sure to re- read parts of it in the future. For me JM's books are good reference material.
Reinforces how important mentoring, coaching and supporting are for great organizations. Some good reminders.
Aonther nice book by Maxwell - again, redundant - reminders are good - but concepts are very similar to other books.

Excellent book on Leadership
Lots of insights.
Great material, I highly recommend this to anyone who has a leadership role in any way.
John Maxwell's books are easy to read and understand. Great for anyone in leadership positions. Now if I could just change a little faster :)
It was ok. Basically a self help book on leadership. Maxwell, brilliant as he is, bored me a little.
Oh, make that a lot.
Oh, make that a lot.
I just can't motivate myself to finish this book. It just doesn't really appeal to me or relate to where I'm at.
I thoroughly enjoyed the analogies in this book. 212 degrees compared to 213! Read it and it will all make sense!
Very interesting book if you are concerned about developing people.1st book for the Bowen bookclub I just started.
Great basic information on team building, mentoring, growing the leaders that serve with you.
and plan to read it again and again.
