Why you should read Becoming a Person of Influence
This book holds a wealth of practical knowledge for those who want to move up the corporate food chain. But even if you don't have professional ambitions and simply want to be a better human being, you've come to the right place. John C. Maxwell and Jim Dornan start with the basics, teaching that honesty, integrity, unselfishness, kindness and understanding are crucial components of any relationship, business or personal. They believe that as you strengthen your character, you will enjoy a more fulfilling and productive life, at home and at work. Since they reframed some concepts to fit chapter themes, the material is repetitive at times, but it is spiced with entertaining anecdotes and glimpses of business celebrities (such as Sam Walton). getAbstract thinks up-and-coming leaders will want this on their reading lists, along with Maxwell's other boosters.

This was the second book I read for a Management Class. The book was informative and gave me a different perspective on work and home life. You will not feel overwhelmed with theories but enlightened on being a person of influence. |
