Book Description

August 29, 2006

What can make the difference in your life today? How can two people with the same skills and abilities, in the same situation, end up with two totally different outcomes? Leadership expert John C. Maxwell says the difference maker is attitude. For those who have ever wondered what may be separating them from achieving the kind of personal and professional success they’ve always dreamt of, Dr. Maxwell has some words of insight: “Your attitude colors every aspect of your life. It is like the mind’s paintbrush.”

In The Difference Maker, Maxwell shatters common myths about attitude—what it can do for you and what it can’t. Showing you how to overcome the five biggest attitude obstacles, Dr. Maxwell teaches the skills you need to make attitude your biggest asset. Most importantly, you’ll learn not only how to develop an attitude that will have a tremendous impact on career, family, and daily living, but also how to maintain that attitude for the rest of your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Challenge to Grow September 13, 2007
Format:Hardcover
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous, Quick Read that Will Enhance your Business! January 9, 2007
Format:Hardcover
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maxwell's Best Book Yet July 11, 2007
Format:Hardcover
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!
