Resumen del Editor

In 1993, John C. Maxwell's now-classic work revolutionized the way leaders are made. By examining the differences between leadership styles, Maxwell outlines principles for inspiring, motivating, and influencing others from any type of leadership position - including as a business executive, a church leader, a teacher, or even a parent.

Now, the author has returned to his best seller to include the leadership insights and practices he has learned in the decades since the book first appeared. Thoroughly revised and with two additional chapters, Developing the Leader Within You 2.0 has updated these foundational principles and promises to provide for both new listeners as well as longtime fans of the original book the necessary wisdom to help any leader and organization succeed in fostering integrity, self-discipline, and effecting positive change.

Develop your vision. Develop your value. Develop the leader within you.

Practical leadership

At first I was hesitant about Maxwell's work. I am not Christian, I am not at all religious, and I like to talk, fast. What first felt like slow progress with his book, turned into valuable lessons on leadership that will have a lasting impact on my style. I have been grilled at work for suggesting that we may not have the right people on the job. "Impossible," they say, as they believe any leader could turn anyone into a success. I disagree. My usual retort is that we mine as well go pick up some day workers at home depot, because we must have messiahs for leaders. (I work in software research on the edge of computer science). Maxwell discusses the 80/20 rule in a way that I hadn't thought of before. He invests 80% of his managerial time into 20% of his direct staff, meaning 1 in 5 will get his attention, and he expects to get 80% of the gains from that 20%. This is because he finds that only 1 in 5 people are worthy, capable, or willing to be coached and grow. I've been trying to do what my manager says to do, which is to bring everyone up equally. As he puts it, "what a mistake!"

I absolutely love this book.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to a friend and will do so for my colleagues as well. John C Maxwell does a good job of providing a great list of opportunities to improve your leadership and guidelines by which to do so. The majority of the first portion of the book up until the last couple of chapters offers lots of great references to other leaders and quotes as well as good instructions on where your mindset should be when thinking as a Leader. My favorite sections discuss the levels of leadership, and how you grow the influence you have and the type of leadership you provide as you push to the next level. I also really appreciated the concept of consciously thinking farther and bigger for your organization.

A couple of chapters at the end are a bit too soft in their advice, but still this is a great read.

Have you listened to any of John C. Maxwell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I enjoyed John's narration; it is clear he is a talented orator.
