Regard yourself a leader? How well do you measure up?,
By mark.holland@breathemail.net (Northampton UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You (Paperback)
Wow what a book.Ever wondered why some people can take groups to incredible heights and other seemingly as capable individuals can,t? Ever thought howcome a team performs completely differently when a new leader is installed? Most leadership books I have previously read dealt really with management. Maxwell has an absolute understanding of the qualities a leader must display. In the 21 Laws.... Maxwell breaks down leadership into 21 chapters each dealing with a specfic 'Law of Leadership'. With insights into how famous leaders performed and with ideas on how to develop yourself as a leader. This book is a must for all budding and fully bloomed leaders alike. Anyone who can take a church congregation from hundreds to over 30,000, who can be instrumental in the success of companies such as Chick Fila must understand true leadership! John Maxwell understands leadership. If you want to understand leadership, if you want to be regarded as a leader, this book is a must.

This review is from: The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You (Paperback)
There are many books that after a while you get bored and stop reading them. This book is fast to read and very useful. Although the author seems religious and some of the examples are irrelevant, in general the book is good and it teaches a lot useful points. I have directly used some of the points and I have seen their immediate positive responses. The only problem is that you have to have the discipline to apply them constantly.

Wouldn't Argue with the 21 Laws, but Disappointing,
This review is from: 21 IRREFUTABLE LAWS OF LEADERSHIP THE PB (Paperback)
I can't think of anything I disagree with in this well-written book... and yet I found it unsatisfying.It offers 21 observations about successful leadership, each of which is entirely reasonable. But as a guide to becoming a better leader, I felt there were just too many laws. In the end it felt like an exhortation to be the perfect hero-leader, which I didn't find helpful. For me, the book doesn't penetrate deep enough to the heart of how to become a better leader. It's one thing to point out 21 "laws" - basically a set of truths around leadership and some ideal characteristics of leaders - but it's quite another to identify their psychological roots and suggest a way to work on them. What I missed here was a deeper, more fundamental view of how to become a successful leader; something that would help an aspiring leader learn how to embody the 21 laws, not just know about them intellectually. Gary Hamel's criticism of the book "The Profit Zone" springs to mind. The authors of TPZ describe 22 "profit zones" - 22 distinct ways of earning a profit margin. Hamel wrote of the authors, "They know a strategy when they see one - Look! Twenty two profit zones! - but they don't know where new strategies come from. They don't have a theory of strategy creation..." I feel The 21 Laws of Leadership has the same problem. So '21 Laws' is okay, but even though they are mostly 20 years older, I prefer John Adair's books with their simpler action-centred leadership model. If you want a more modern view, try James Scouller's "The Three Levels of Leadership," which goes deeper into the moral and psychological roots of leadership while managing to say compact. Or you could try Steve Radcliffe's "Leadership Plain and Simple."
