Developing the Leader within You

En este clásico de la literatura empresarial que se ha convertido en un éxito de ventas a nivel mundial, John C. Maxwell nos revela las claves para desarrollar nuestras capacidades de liderazgo. Los principios intemporales que propone, aplicados a nuestra vida y a la de nuestras organizaciones, producirán cambios positivos a través de la integridad y la autodisciplina. Con su particular estilo, ameno y lleno de anécdotas, Maxwell explora: - La verdadera definición de liderazgo. Liderazgo es influencia. Nada más y nada menos. Aquel que cree ser un líder pero no tiene a nadie que le siga, se está engañando a sí mismo. - Las cualidades del liderazgo. El liderazgo no es un club exclusivo. Las cualidades para llegar a ser un show more líder pueden aprenderse. - La diferencia entre dirección y liderazgo. Lograr que otros hagan un trabajo es tarea de un director. Inspirar a otros para que mejoren su trabajo es el logro de un líder. show less

Self-help books are kind of like horoscopes; they're general enough to apply to almost anyone and yet still personal enough to feel a little eerie. This one did its job - it was uplifting, but not specifically helpful.

I bought this book after listening to a talk on leadership inspired by it. The author is a former minister, and his writing style is in tune with that background. He litters the text with parables and anecdotes.

Love his leadership advise, it is great and teaches how to lead, communicate, and how to treat others, even the older book still prevalent today. Great advice for leaders at all levels.

In this repackaged bestseller John Maxwell examines the differences between leadership styles, and outlines principles for inspiring, motivating, and influencing others. These principles can be used in any organization to foster integrity and self-discipline and bring a positive change. Developing the Leader Within You also allows readers to examine how to be effective in the highest calling of leadership by understanding the five characteristics that set "leader managers" apart from "run-of-the-mill managers". In this John Maxwell classic, he shows readers how to develop the vision, value, influence, and motivation required of successful leaders.

The reason why leadership has become such an important subject is due to the fact that people realize the following: when you become a leader, your whole life changes. Everything goes up and down with leadership and the world becomes a better place when people become better leaders.

You can love people without leading them, but you cannot lead people without loving them.

A liter is great, not because of his or her power, but because of his or her ability to empower others. Success without a successor is failure. A Workers main responsibility is developing others to do the work.

Once your mind is tattooed with negative thinking, the chances for long-term success diminish.

Success depends, not merely on how well you do the things you enjoy the hell show more conscientiously he performed those duties you don’t

I just dug it out and started rereading it. Its pretty good, a bit pragmatic when it comes to religious leadership though.
