    Synopsis

    Drawing from John Maxwell's bestsellers Developing the Leader Within You, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, and Becoming a Person of Influence, Leadership 101 explores the timeless principles that have become Dr. Maxwell's trademark style. In a concise, straightforward style, Maxwell focuses on essential and time-tested qualities necessary for true leadership -influence, integrity, attitude, vision, problem-solving, and self-discipline -and guides readers through practical steps to develop true leadership in their lives and the lives of others.

    Annotation

    Maxwell offers powerful inspiration that will challenge readers to reach for excellence in leadership. Quotes from well-known leaders, past and present, provide a quick and ready source of powerful nuggets of truth about leaders and leadership that will help readers achieve all that God has planned for them.

    Publishers Weekly

    This diminutive tome is a particularly sketchy treatise on the already vague subject of leadership, stitched together with excerpts from The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and other Maxwell books and featuring an ad at the back directing readers to a Web site where they can buy one of the author's longer works. Maxwell's themes-don't just pull rank, don't sweat the small stuff, establish rapport with co-workers, "empower" underlings-are commonplaces of leadership lore, couched in aphorisms ("The boss says 'I'; the leader, 'we'"), pseudo-statistics ("Twenty percent of your priorities will give you 80 percent of your production") and bromides ("If you lack vision, look inside yourself"). But in distilling this wisdom, the nitty-gritty that might make it useful has been boiled off, leaving readers to grapple unaided with bullet-pointed truisms like "Deal wisely with difficult people." Perfunctory leadership profiles of usual suspect Theodore Roosevelt, Princess Di, executives and football notables scarcely flesh out the meager intellectual content of this book, which seems, more than anything, like a $10 congrats card for the recently promoted.(Sept. 10) Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.

    March 18, 2004: Thinking I had heard all there was to know about leadership, I picked up a copy of Maxwell's book and couldn't put it down. Five hundred pages of leadership, common sense, and knowledge crammed and condensed into a pocket sized 108 pages. I work daily with many talented young leaders in the scouting program that are working toward or have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. I was so impressed with the lessons in 'Leadership 101', that I now present a copy of it with the Eagle Scout Award to any of my Scouts that has attained the high honor.

    December 07, 2003: I picked up this book because I was frustrated with the leadership of the company, but ended up learning how I could be a leader. Terrific, encouraging wisdom for someone just realizing their potential.
