Critic reviews

"Highly recommended! In my experience, the ability to identify and develop leaders is a critical trait to any high-performing business. John Maxwell skillfully lays the groundwork on how to create a virtuous cycle where leaders are developed and then encouraged to foster new leaders." Joel Peterson, Chairman of JetBlue Airways

"John Maxwell hits the nail on the head in The Leader's Greatest Return. Much of our long-term success at Paychex has stemmed from our ability to attract, hire, and develop great leaders. I highly recommend this book for leaders seeking to develop this essential characteristic in their own organization." Thomas Golisano, founder and Chairman of the Board, Paychex, Inc.

By sitting at John's leadership development table, we've been able to expand our own organization by developing the leaders who will carry The Hollis Co. forward."

Great Book

I loved reading the book. it is full of wisdom and information from John Maxwell.

Leadership isn't easy but oh the returns!!

I enjoy hearing John speak and listening to this timely in my leadership journey.

A true born leader

This book as great as John gives insight on his why, how to increase your influence and it's important to go beyond what's he's done. A solid confirmation on why I need to continue this path!

So helpful

Having read many of John’s books, I would say this one is as valuable to me as The 21 Irrefutable Laws Of Leadership has been; perhaps even more so. And the audio version provides additional insights from John that made it even more valuable. So practical and wise!

MUST LISTEN

I have read many John Maxwell books but listening to this one, hearing his additions, was so amazing! I felt like I learned more, and thought more about the content! Loved loved loved it

WOW!!!

By far the best book Pappa has written to date!!! His books have consistently impacted my life. Th
is book is an absolute result of all that compounding interest!

Leaders must have book

This book was fantastic just like many of the other books John has written. I do believe that I got most from the book, not just because of what he teaches, but because he read the book. It allowed me to feel like he was sitting across from me as he read.

Also, I really enjoyed his summary after each chapter on his thoughts. I would recommend this book to every leader.

Always valuable time spent learning from a legend

I've considered John Maxwell a mentor for over 11 years. Not only do I continue to learn from him but I put in to action what I learn and duplicate the process. If you're in a leadership role or aspire to be, John Maxwell is a must learn from individual. Thanks John!

Instant Classic

This is one of the best books I’ve ever listened to in the personal development and leadership category. John Maxwell has a relaxed story teller kind of voice that’s very easy to listen to.

Great leadership book

Mr. Maxwell wrote a great book and does even better narrating it. This is a must listen to for anyone building a team of leaders.
