How Successful People Lead

Taking Your Influence to the Next Level

By: John C. Maxwell

Narrated by: Chris Sorensen

Length: 3 hrs and 37 mins

Publisher's summary

In this perfectly quick listen, #1 New York Times best-selling author John C. Maxwell explains how true leadership works. It is not generated by your title. In fact, being named to a position is the lowest of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To be more than a boss people are required to follow, you must master the ability to inspire and invest in people. You need to build a team that produces not only results, but also future leaders.

By combining the advice contained in this audiobook with skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership - where your influence extends beyond your immediate reach for the benefit of others.

Derived from material previously published in the Wall Street Journal best seller The 5 Levels of Leadership.

Critic reviews

"John has been a mentor and teacher for me for many years and what I love most about him is that he has pushed and helped me personally go through the 5 Levels of Leadership!" (Kevin Turner, COO, Microsoft)

"When it comes to leadership, inspiration is just as important - if not more so - than information. John Maxwell offers both. The 5 Levels of Leadership will not only tell you how to climb higher, it will give you the motivation you need to reach the top." (Dan T. Cathy, President & Chief Operating Officer, Chick-fil-A, Inc.)

" The 5 Levels Of Leadership is John Maxwell's ultimate contribution to the topic. It's clear, helpful, inspiring and guaranteed to give any reader the ability to fulfill what Napoleon defined as the role of the leader: 'Define reality, then give hope." (Tim Sanders, former Chief Solutions Officer at Yahoo! and author of Today We Are Rich)
