John C. Maxwell offers lively stories about the foibles and successes of Lee Iacocca, Abraham Lincoln, Princess Diana, and Elizabeth Dole in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. Readers can expect a well-crafted discussion that emphasizes the core attitudes and visions of leadership. Maxwell uses the same tell-it-like-it-is approach that he honed in the bestselling Developing the Leader Within You. For instance, when explaining "The Law of Influence," Maxwell states that "job titles don't have much value when it comes to leading. True leadership cannot be awarded, appointed or assigned. It comes only from influence and that can't be mandated." Even after Princess Diana was stripped of her title, Maxwell says she was still able to lead a global effort toward banning land mines because of her sophisticated ability to influence others.If readers are looking for a step-by-step formula, Maxwell's list of "laws" will probably seem too chatty and anecdote driven. There are no specific tips on what readers can do during the next workday to help them become stronger leaders. On the other hand, Maxwell's background as a pastor gives him an inspirational voice and a spiritual context to leadership that many business and church leaders appreciate. --Gail Hudson

 Good Rules Yes Good Book No in my opinion October 30, 2008
The rules make sense and are qualities a good leader generally has. But there is no information to help grow these qualities. Instead I am left reading chapter after chapter about how well the author displays these qualities. Honestly I don't care how good the author is, I want to know how to grow these qualities in myself.
 Encouraging, Inspirational, and a great read to!!!!! November 27, 2007

Let me say that I am a chick from the hood and we do not come across books like this on the regular, but I got my hands on it and it really grabbed and kept me attention. This book made me think and realize that if you use the leadership abilities that God has given us all, anything is possible!!! I recommend that everyone read this book!!! This book was awesome!!!
The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership October 27, 2007
The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is an excellent resource at our school for our student leadership training component. Our executive members of the student council use it for training and planning. Each student is assigned a chapter to present in the weekly meetings.
It gives a focus for the group and the concepts are very applicable to their day to day activities as they provide leadership to the student body. Thanks Amazon and John Maxwell for making our school an excellent place to train the leaders of tomorrow.

This is a powerful book. I cannot say enough about John Maxwell's ability to put things into perspective. This has helped me to understand why some of my managers are struggling and what to look for in hiring new ones.
