Leadership 101

What Every Leader Needs to Know

Never one to decline a free reading material, I took the book in gladly when my boss offered to lend it to me. Besides, John Maxwell is an author that I have heard of widely. But the loan is not a free lunch though; I will be summarizing some key points and anecdotes in Leadership 101 to share with the entire branch, and perhaps the entire organization where I work currently.

John Maxwell is a celebrated pastor and author who has written on many topics including relationships, career and pretty much about life in general. In the industry of self-help books filled to the brim with whiny and dubios authors, Maxwell has stood the test of time to be the real McCoy.

But Leadership 101 is not a regular of his works. The book has been designed so that it can be devoured in just one sitting. With just 108 pages, just an hour was needed for me to finish the book. Surprisingly the work is not filled with overused clichés about leadership. It actually does contain some fresh insights and theories with regards to leading your men and some of them can be proven to be useful should you choose to have an open mind. I particularly liked his jargonless style. In summary, a pleasant reading ineed.
