The 360° Leader
Developing Your Influence from Anywhere in the Organization
Recommendation
Frequent author John C. Maxwell applies his career counseling formula to another aspect of leadership: how people in the middle of large organizations can add to their company's leadership equation. His popular books rely on long lists of myths, challenges, principles, rules or values. Each one is identified, numbered (Maxwell is a firm believer in the power of numerical orderliness) and accompanied by an example or uplifting story - often making it unclear whether the book is inspirational, instructional or both. In practice, will people refer to these lists, or simply draw from Maxwell's major concepts? Although leadership defies a static definition, getAbstract believes this book may come in handy for enlightened senior and middle managers, as well as for those who are involved in developing up-and-coming managers.
