Revised and updated - 10th Anniversary edition.

An enjoyable, easy-to-read book that is educational, yet entertaining.

I had previously read this book as part of a graduate program. This new book doesn't contain any real "new" ideas from the original version. While majority of the information is helpful for any workplace, I'm not sure all the laws of leadership work with today's new business model which includes more working from home and not in an office with others.

This is great book on leadership, with excellent examples bringing it to life in a very digestable format. (

There is some good stuff in here, but I question if there really need to be 21 Laws when many of them feel somewhat repetitious of earlier stated laws. I'll also note that, at least in the edition I read, several of the examples did NOT age well (e.g., Lance Armstrong). (

The ideas presented in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership are simple, clear, and easy to grasp - yet profound! It's an enjoyable, easy-to-read book that is educational yet entertaining. Whether you are a recent graduate just beginning your career, or a seasoned executive, this book is worth reading...and keeping at hand as a leadership reference guide.

The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is helpful and easy to read, yet profound in its depth and clarity. It's loaded with hope, direction, encouragement, and specific procedures.

added by ArrowStead | editBack cover, Zig Ziglar - Author & Motivational Teacher

In typical Maxwell style, filled with wisdom, wit, and passion, John provides a wealth of practical insights on what it takes to be a successful leader.

added by ArrowStead | editBack cover, Bill McCartney Founder & CEO Promise Keepers

John Maxwell understands what it takes to be a leader, and he puts it within reach with The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. I recommend this to anyone who desires success at the highest level, whether on the ball field, in the boardroom, or from the pulpit.

An irrefutable must-read on leadership that is a simple and powerful list of guidelines to help build leadership in many arenas.
