Great leadership is built on great relationships!
Leadership is a relationship-intensive endeavor. If your people skills aren't strong, neither will be your leadership. "If people aren't following you," sums up New York Times and Business Week best-selling author Dr. John C. Maxwell, "then you're not really leading."

It's one of the best books I have ever read concerning with Relationships. It explains lots of things although it's mainly based on Relationships. Those who have problems while relating others or don't know how to deal with your environment properly, this is a perfect reference you can fully rely on. Thanks.

Solid advice for what it is, more geared toward leaders, with some leaning to personal life also. Only bad part is he makes it sound like if you apply this advice, everything will come up roses. Unfortunately, life has lots of problems. Would like to see more detail about handling life’s problems. Maybe he does more detail in other books as this is just a quick read at less than 100 pages. I would still recommend this book.

Relationships 101 by John C. Maxwell is a short, compact pocketbook. 1-day read. The book offers many short examples of good relationship skills in action as demonstrated by famous individuals such as Reagan, Kelleher, Lincoln, and many others. It also tries to offer practical advice on how to build relationships.
The take-aways:
• make others feel important in your presence
• to be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved (trust and respect are the foundation of any meaningful relationshi ...more

Impressive!
A charming and lovely read. John Maxwell never disappoints his reader fans. Again, he did an admirable job through this lovely, powerful, and instructional book.
The book is mainly focusing on answering the following significant questions.
What Do I Need to Know about Others?
How Can I Become a Better Listener?
What Does It Mean to Have Integrity with People?
How Can I Serve and Lead at the Same Time?
Likewise, he specifies the key factors to building successful relationships in team ...more

One of the smallest book on relationships. However it took me about 2 months to finish this book. Every page is full on nuggets which have to be implemented. Else you lose the essence. One of hard hitting topics covered is integrity and the 10 questions on integrity will definitely make you think and introspect. A book worth its weight in gold.

This book is an easy read. Although Relationships 101 of John Maxwell is quite thin, it is rich of nuggets of wisdom on how to create meaningful relationships especially to leaders. One of my favorite part is where Maxwell cited and explained the things how go encourage people.
If you’re a leadership junkie, this book should not be taken lightly. Relationships with the right people is essential to becoming successful in your organization and in life itself.

Well principled book, succint, easy to read. With the heading titles, it's very easy to organize the thoughts and go through the book quickly. The content is golden.
Take away for myself:
1. Put integrity as the main principle.
2. Get the core values together for family.
3. Listen and report back, and listen. ...more

A nice, shorter read compared to Maxwell's bigger books like "21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" or "Developing the Leader within you 2.0". Maxwell touches on many relational topics and I really loved that he shared some very personal things that he does in his own family life as examples. He has a really great way of connecting with his reader. Highly recommended.

Second time I have read this book and I got more from it this time than the first. Several good examples of how servant leadership, building trust, and planning to serve your family set you on a path toward strong relationships.
Simple, direct, and often not executed by many people. Worth time to read, but even worthier to ponder and act upon.
