Format:Paperback
The thing that I hear time and time again from those that I coach is that they often feel frustrated in their role or organisation because they feel that they have little or no influence or impact (due to their boss, their team, the culture, the people they are leading etc). Therefore the thing that I like the most about this book is the fact that Maxwell seeks to help the reader to recognise that wherever they are in an organisation, they can all exercise leadership, have influence and make an impact, whether that is 'leading up' by influencing those over them, `leading down', with those they have management responsibility for, and `leading across' - with their peers and colleagues.

He highlights 5 areas of where our influence may lie. These are:
1. Position - Influence because of your role.
2. Permission - Influence because of your character.
3. Production - Influence because of your production.
4. People Development - Influence because of who you've mentored.
5. Personhood - Influence because of your personality.

Maxwell writes in a very personable style using real life stories, analogies, and numerous quotes. It is well written and logically structured. Each section includes either suggestions for leaders or questions leaders should be asking themselves. Also at the end of the book there is a 360 Degree Leader workshop for every section of the book with various challenges that can help the reader to apply these principles which can assist their growth in order to go to the next level as a 360-Degree Leader.

5.0 out of 5 stars The 360 Degree Leader by John Maxwell 3 Jan 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
The 360 Degree Leader is a book about leadership for people who are firmly in the middle of their organisation chart - supervisors, assistant managers, managers and so on. Looking at the challenges of leadership and management, the lies people believe, and a whole lot of strategies for growth, it's John Maxwell at his best.

I've read quite a bit of Maxwell, and this is typical of him: tonnes of clever acronyms and catchy phrases coupled with a lot of personal illustrations and a heavy dose of empathy (and cheese), but essentially the same message as all his other books: leadership is nothing more or less than influence, so if you're nice to people, particularly those who already have influence, your leadership skills and opportunities will grow.

It's not quite a career planning handbook, it's more about developing the skill of leadership wherever your career has found you, but if you're looking for something about career planning this is a pretty good start.

If you've read Maxwell and you didn't like the experience, this book definitely isn't for you. But if you've never read any of his stuff, this is a really good one to start with - it sums up a lot of his other books well so you may as well get this one. That said, the content is very much suited to those 'in the middle', so if you're a CEO or a trainee it won't be as helpful for you as it would be for an assistant manager.

I got this book for free from BookSneeze.com in exchange for an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leadership is for everyone! 3 Aug 2012
Format:Paperback
Leaders are found everywhere in an organisation and it is actually harder for people to lead from the middle of the organisation. John C. Maxwell's book showed me that even if I am not the main leader, I still need to be developing my leadership skills, influence and potential right where I am.

Leading in the 360° way means looking at yourself first, then how to influence your leader, your peers and finally (what we think of as traditional leadership) the people under you.

I started this book in May and decided to take my time to read it because it was so full of good and interesting information and I wanted to fully digest each chapter before moving on. The workbook at the end really helped with this. And each chapter ends with a review of that chapter as well.

This book has really changed my thinking about leadership and also helped me see my role in leading others completely differently. I don't just have an influence on those below me, but also on my colleagues, and my leaders. It has been very interesting for me putting some of these ideas into practice, and I have already seen some positive results!

His use of practical examples and interesting stories definitely makes this an easy read, and it was only because of the amount of good stuff in it that made me stretch it out over time to get the maximum amount out of the book. As part of having the book, there is an assessment that you can take at [...] and it was interesting to see the results and also really helped with working through the book as well.

Wherever you are working in an organisation, I would highly recommend you to get this book and work through it.
