I started this book in Atlanta, read on the plane, finished it the next day. I loved it! It opens your mind, lightly tells you what you are doing wrong and helps you come to a wy to fix the problems on your own. I love how it reads. I gave this book to the women on my team because it helps you to become a leader, by helping mind and brain. I can't say enough about it. All new recruits into my team will be getting this book.

John Maxwell follows his own advice. He has refined, reformed and repackaged his career and professional life --- after beginning well, he's continually gotten better. It's a focus thing! This book is the best Maxwell volume yet; zeroing in on the key factor that holds us back and prevents our growth.

John Maxwell is right: attitude is definitely 'the difference maker.' But instead of merely saying so, Maxwell shows you how to discover the basics of your own personality (you may be surprised!) and then move forward, changing your perspective in order to achieve better results.

This book is a bargain at twice the price: buy one for yourself and every member of your leadership team. Read it together: you'll learn a lot!

Everyone should read this book. However, if you or someone you know is experiencing a sustained period of adversity, reading it is even more critical. It not only inspires but also equips readers with the techniques to get through tough times.

My manager gave this book to everyone in his district because market and external forces were creating a difficult working environment. This book helped many of us get through that time and still reach our goals.

In This Book John C Maxwell tells us that the right attitude can make a difference but cannot be everything. In his previous books he was more focused on just the right attitude. This book shows his books have progressed as his views have.

Maxwell has cranked out many books over the years. In this book, the reader benefits from Maxwell summing up many of the key lessons he's learned over his career. This book inspires and encourages the reader to be a difference maker.

John C. Maxwell has written another awesome book. I have a Ladies Book Club in my business. We read a chapter a week in a selected book. All of them have been John C. Maxwell's books. The group was in awe of The Difference Maker. Reading it changed their lives as well as mine.

The Difference Maker is a great book - difficult to put down! It's realistic, and the anecdotes are not only relevant; they're entertaining. I strongly recommend it to anyone who needs to improve their attitude, or improve the attitudes of their team members.

This book taught me that it is the 1% that seperates us from the less fortunate. Not only just saying change your attitude but an easy step by step process for having a correct perspective on doing so. I have read it 6 times and discover something new and wonderful each time.

Any time I read a book and see myself in it I enjoy it more. When I read this one I understood myself better, those around me better and most of all, why I just can't give up. As an entrepreneur I know that many try and fail and never try again. Others, with the right attitude, try and try and try and may fail but refuse to give up. This is a great book for all members of the family.

I recently attended a John Maxwell conference and heard him discuss some of the points in his new book, "Talent is Never Enough". That is the next book I will read! The folks at Amazon are wise to offer these two books together.

Maxwell is the consumate leadership guru.

This is a concise and straightforward read on how your attitude -- when blended with competence and other key qualities -- can be a "game breaker" in your favor in life. Maxwell is a motivational caffeine pill and this book reinforces what we sense is true anyway.
