I thoroughly enjoy John Maxwell's books, as they have opened my eyes to leadership principles more than any other author. And the duet of "Leadership Gold" and "Go For Gold" easily fit into the category of extremely helpful.

As I pondered it, I think what I appreciate most about Dr. Maxwell's books is his level of affirmation. He challenges me to get better as a leader by showing me how I can do it. He encourages me to build on what I already know, and keep on growing. He helps me see what I can become and can accomplish as a God-fearing leader.

"Leadership Gold" is made up of 26 leadership lessons that Dr. Maxwell has learned over decades of leading. Each lesson comes with his personal example -- sometimes failures, sometimes successes -- along with actionable steps the reader can take. At the end of each lesson there are both application and mentoring exercises. To dig deeper into each lesson, the companion "Go For Gold" is a short reading for each day of the week that corresponds with the lesson in "Leadership Gold." Combined, these books are a powerful one-two punch!

If you are in a leadership position, or if you aspire to be an effective leader, I can highly recommend these two books to you.

The buyer needs to be aware that this is a devotional to accompany John Maxwell's book, Leadership Gold. It is not a workbook for Leadership Gold.

With all that said, the devotional is a good reinforcement and practical application for Leadership Gold. It is well worth the buy!

I lead a Bible study with 26 leaders who lead others. I found many helpful comments about leading and inspiring others to lead. I plan to use several of the sections for training and encouraging leadership.
