Recommendation
After years of writing and lecturing about leadership, and after decades of practicing it, John C. Maxwell created this book as a reflection on all he has learned about guiding others. He shares leadership lessons he experienced firsthand as well as those culled from other experts. His 26 “gold nuggets” address various aspects of leadership, such as developing relationships, nurturing tomorrow’s leaders, and recognizing and responding to “defining moments.” At the end of each chapter, Maxwell offers “Application Exercises” to show readers how to put the lessons to practical use, and “Mentoring Moments” to help them teach the principles to others. As in most of Maxwell’s books, his strength lies not in his originality but in his ability to distill offerings from many different sources into pithy quotes and simple, easy-to-learn portions. Maxwell readers will encounter much familiar wisdom but, nonetheless, getAbstract finds that this is a warm and helpful text for emerging and current leaders in every field.

8 years agoAs told in recommendation of getAbstract, there is some repetition, but anyway information in this abstract is truly valuable. It is much easier to read those gold nuggets from a book than to actually apply them into your life. I think that if leaders would apply even some oh these ideas, they would become better leaders. I recommend reading this abstract and if you really want to develop yourself further as a leader, then get the whole version of the book also. This abstract gives something both for young leaders looking for advice from more experienced ones and old leaders who want to increase their depth of leadership skills.
