Twenty-five years ago, John Maxwell published Developing the Leader Within You, a book that transformed how we think about leadership. Identifies five characteristics of "leader managers," explores different leadership styles, and outlines principles for fostering integrity and self-discipline while inspiring, motivating, and influencing others. Summary of John C. Therefore, leaders need to know how to solve problems and prioritize them.
To solve them, Maxwell lists some tips:. Maxwell says that while problems are important to our growth, you should also try to avoid them. This can be done by encouraging the team to work better with each other, without you ever being present. That way, you will not have to solve the problems of the company always alone. Vision brings order to chaos. A clear vision allows you to see everything differently.
So all leaders have a vision of what they have to accomplish. It becomes the energy and strength necessary to overcome all obstacles. Daniel Goleman in his book " Focus " says that every effective leader must focus the attention of the company where it is most needed and productive.
Pay attention to your behaviors and the effects of your actions. Leadership requires knowing your values and communicating your vision to inspire and motivate others. Another book that also talks about leadership is the " Leadership Pipeline ".
Its authors, Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter and James Noel, share that leadership is a set of skills that can be learned and must be practiced. Simon Sinek says in his book, " Start with Why ", that people follow a leader only after they buy their vision. They have the necessity to know that the leader's reason for doing things is aiming something greater than themselves.
Some of these concepts may sound "common sense", but do not be fooled, few people practice them. In your path to leadership, commit yourself to becoming a better leader. Ideas shared by Maxwell will only be effective if you are fully committed.
Great leaders are extremely rare, but now that you have what it takes to become one, just start practicing. People choose to follow someone for different reasons. Take accountability for your behavior and the decisions you make. Keep a positive attitude when you try to solve issues. Work on your attitude and mindset, and slowly change all the negative patterns with positive ones. Discipline is what will make you do whatever you need to do, despite your resistance to it. So, do not forget to choose the right people for the right positions.
Creating a well-functioning support team is crucial. I will definitely recommend this book to leadership, non fiction lovers. Your Rating:. Your Comment:. Maxwell Submitted by: Jane Kivik. The first edition of the novel was published in January 1st , and was written by John C.
