    <![CDATA[<p>If you've never read <em>The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership</em>, you've been missing out on one of the best-selling leadership books of all time. If you have read the original version, then you'll love this new expanded and updated one. </p>  <p>Internationally recognized leadership expert, speaker, and author John C. Maxwell has taken this million-seller and made it even better: </p>  &lt;UL&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;Every Law of Leadership has been sharpened and updated &lt;/LI&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;Seventeen new leadership stories are included&lt;/LI&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;Two new Laws of Leadership are introduced&lt;/LI&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;New evaluation tool will reveal your leadership strengths-and weaknesses&lt;/LI&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;New application exercises in every chapter will help you grow&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;  <p>Why would Dr. Maxwell make changes to his best-selling book?   </p>  <p>&quot;A book is a conversation between the author and reader,&quot; says Maxwell. &quot;It's been ten years since I wrote <em>The 21 Laws of Leadership</em>. I've grown a lot since then. I've taught these laws in dozens of countries around the world. This new edition gives me the opportunity to share what I've learned.&quot;</p>  <p> </p>]]>
