HarperCollins and John C. Maxwell are celebrating the milestone anniversary of Maxwell's New York Times bestselling book The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership with the publication of a new revised and updated 25th Anniversary Edition.

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). (

Thay vì viết lời bình, xin trích dẫn các ý hay trong sách. Recommend quyển sách này cho mọi leaders or leader-to-be.

- Quyền lực giống như người phụ nữ. Nếu bạn phải nhắc mọi người nhớ rằng bạn xinh đẹp, thì chắc chắn bạn không hề xinh đẹp - Margaret Thatcher
- Bạn không thể thúc ép ai đó làm việc gì, trừ khi bạn tác động vào tâm lý họ trước. Tình cảm luôn đi trước lý trí.
- Thành công không đến từ những gì anh biết, mà đến từ những người anh biết và con đường anh dành cho mỗi người trong nhóm - Lee Iacocca
- Nhà lãnh đạo xuất sắc nhất là người có thể chọn người có khả năng hoàn thành công việc anh ta muốn và kìm chế bản thân không xen vào công việc mà người đó đang làm - Theodore Roosevelt
- Khi có áp lực là lúc những lãnh đạo xuất sắc thể hiện khả năng tốt nhất.
- Nguyên tắc hy sinh xác nhận rằng sự hy sinh của một người hiếm khi mang lại thành công.
- Khi bạn trở thành một nhà lãnh đạo, bạn mất đi quyền nghĩ về bản thân - Gerald Brooks
- Di sản chỉ có thể được thiết lập khi một người có thể tạo dựng cho tổ chức của ông ấy gặt hái được những thành công lớn mà không có sự hiện diện của ông ấy.
- Thành công không phải được xác định bằng những gì bạn hướng tới, mà nó được xác định bằng những gì bạn để lại phía sau - Chris Musgrove (

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.
