HarperChristian Resources, Sep 16, 2007 - Religion - 272 pages

Required reading for both developing and experienced leaders, this one-of-a-kind workbook companion to a leadership classic outlines the core leadership principles that will make you more effective, more influential, and more successful—wherever you are in your career.

If you’ve never read The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, you’ve been missing out on one of the best-selling leadership books of all time. In this companion workbook, leadership expert John C. Maxwell shares powerful insights gleaned from his forty-plus years of leadership success. Maxwell helps you:

  • Take your leadership skills to the next level
  • Discover life-changing principles of influence, empowerment, intuition, and legacy
  • Observe your own career and evaluate yourself, using an evaluation tool that reveals your leadership strengths and weaknesses
  • Learn from stories and observations from the worlds of business, politics, sports, the military, and non-profit organizations so you can transform as a leader

Each of the twenty-one lessons contains the following sections:

  • Definition of the Law: Understand the law and how it operates
  • Case Studies: Explore three primary cases—some positive, some negative—that reveal and illustrate the law.
  • Leadership Insight and Reflection: Draw important personal conclusions about the impact of this law on your life.
  • Taking Action: Assess yourself in this law and develop specific action steps to grow or make important changes.
  • Group Discussion Questions: Explore the core issues and share your insights through a guided discussion with your group.

This workbook isn’t designed to be merely a theoretical exercise. It’s meant to help you become a better leader. And while you can easily go through this study on your own, there’s nothing more transformational than learning with other like-minded people. So, gather a group of any size and see what happens as you help each other become the kind of leaders that people want to follow.
