Developing the Leaders Around You Paperback – October 1, 2005

This book wasn't quite what I expected as I was hoping for something that may help me work with athletes. Some of these tips will be easily applied to my athletes but the true value will be as I hire and develop interns and assistants in the future. I was also able to come away looking at my place of employment a bit differently and looking at a bigger picture instead of what was right in front of me. I definitely think this is a useful book!

I had to buy this for a book review at A&M, but I'm very glad I did. Very good book with some epic advice for bringing out the best in others. Everyone in leadership positions should have to read his series. Just saying.

I’ve been practicing many of the leadership techniques mentioned in the book for years, but it was great to see them clearly described. Definitely great info for leaders who are building other leaders.

This is a great book. In today’s labor market leaders need every advantage possible to identify, select and nurture future leaders. This book is loaded with savvy suggestions, tools and tactics for building your leadership bench.

I am reading this required book as part of a curriculum in a Pastoral Training session. The book before this one, "Developing the Leader within You" was more readable at a better pace. For whatever reason, this book has started off slow and just went down hill from there. True, maybe it is just a mindset, and maybe I have to totally isolate myself from other distractions! The time frame given us to read these books are only a month, which is not near enough time to put any of these ideas into practice. John Maxwell, learned these lessons over a lifetime of being in management and being a Senior Pastor. I realize at some point I will have to put some or all of his words into action, but just not right now! As I am neither in a position or job to effectually put them to good use. On the brighter side, if you are looking to advance in the corporate structure, or to become part of the hierarchy of a religious organization, this is good reading. Enjoy

I thought the book was chockful of ideas and strategies on how to help be the servant leader that then enables those around you to grow.

This book is not only written by a man of faith, but also a great leader and he shares his knowledge, experience and expertise in the field of leadership. This book is a great tool for anyone wanting to learn more and be better equipped in the workplace and in life. Two thumbs up!!

Simply great with lots of pointers to success!
