5.0 out of 5 stars Good insight into leadership, October 14, 2001

This review is from: The Power Of Leadership (Power Series) (Hardcover)

The Power of Leadership is one of my favorite quick reads (short book) with very useful quotes and stories from some of the world's greatest businessmen and politicians. The book has a quote and then a brief evaluation of what the quote is trying to convey to the reader. I believe Maxwell's interpretations are right on the money and a very refreshing way of looking at some of the best leadership quotes out there.
I should note that Maxwell quotes himself quite a few times (arrogance ? - you decide) but I would say this book is one of my favorites. If you are looking for a full-blown book try his book, 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader or 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. The Power of Attitude is another good short-book by Maxwell.
They key to getting any long-term value out of Maxwell's books is to highlight the quotes you love and integrate them into your daily life. Practice what you read essentially. Hope this helps everyone
