These principles can be used in any organization to foster integrity and self-discipline and bring a positive change. Developing the Leader Within You also allows readers to examine how to be effective in the highest calling of leadership by understanding the five characteristics that set “leader managers” apart from “run-of-the-mill managers.” |

In the age of micro-management and supervisors with little or no leadership ability, this book is a must read. Written by John C Maxwell, one of America's leading authorities on leadership the book will help sharpen the instincts of natural leaders, and will help other aspiring leaders to develop skills they may be lacking all together.
This is for everyone, not only supervisor. When the author is confronted with people who tell him, "Maybe someday when I'm a leader I'll read one of your books." he says he would like to be able to say, "Maybe if you read some of my books you'll become a leader". You don't have to be in a management position to garner huge benefit from Dr. Maxwell's books. I highly recommend this classic, as well as his many other texts.

Although I have not read this particular work, I can vouch for John Maxwell's solid authorship. He has a deeper than most appreciation of the concepts, precepts and intrinic principles surrounding leadership. I am betting you can't go wrong with this volume as well.

An excellent leadership book. But be careful, once you finish reading any of John Maxwell's books, you will be hooked to read the next one!

Anything Maxwell writes is worth reading. He has a way of making you evaluate yourself honestly, and helping you to make yourself a better leader.

This is a great book... not just for those officers that want to move uo the ranks, but for all officers.... because we all need to know how to lead, lead ourselves, lead each other, and lead the public....

Been a while since reading his books. If i remember correctly, he had alot of focus on the mental side of leadership. seemed like it was missing the action side... the interaction with others.
so from that perspective, i coupled it with Dale Carnegie books (how to win friends and influence people). they worked hand in hand. both books were used in my advanced communication class in college, also happens to be the only books i read from college after graduating.- Flag as inappropriate

John Maxwell is one of the best leadership gurus out there. He writes in a storytelling style that maximizes the effect of his teaching.
