Start leading NOW... right where you are!
What's the number one question leadership expert John C. Maxwell is asked while conducting his leadership conferences? "How can I implement what you teach when I'm not the top leader?"
Is it possible to lead well when you're not the top dog? How about if the person you work for is a bad leader? The answer is a resounding yes!
Welcome to The 360° Leader. People who desire to lead from the middle of organizations face unique challenges. And they are often held back by myths that prevent them from developing their influence. Dr. Maxwell, one of the globe's most trusted leadership mentors, debunks the myths, shows you how to overcome the challenges, and teaches you the skills you need to become a 360° leader.
If you have found yourself trying to lead from the middle of the organization, as the vast majority of professionals do, then you need Maxwell's insights. You have a unique opportunity to exercise influence in all directions-up (to the boss), across (among your peers), and down (to those you lead).
The good news is that your influence is greater than you know. Practice the disciplines of 360° leadership and the opportunities will be endless... for your organization, for your career, and for your life.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2024Just received the book, and after reading the first couple of chapters, I have already had several mini epiphanies. It even offers a free leadership assessment. This book is perfect for anyone that has hit the plateau in their career, or feel stuck, this is a great book to reach bigger areas or improve in "blindspots." Will update this review once I have finished and been able to take these tips head on at work.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2024John Maxwell‘s book is excellent on laying down guidelines to help you become a better leader. If you are willing to make changes in your own leadership style to become a better leader, just follow the steps and allow the changes to happen naturally and the people you lead will also learn how to be better leaders by the Example that you set.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024Be a leader where you are; to your boss, your coworkers, and those you supervise. This is the second copy of this book I've bought for a friend. It's easy to read because of how it's outlined. The author is a Christian and the book is chock-full of easy to use leadership techniques that really make a difference.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2024The book arrived with tears but I had to
read it in time for my book club so I didn't have time to complain and exchange. The contents of the book itself is a fascinating read. Great for leaders or aspiring leaders
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2024Again, John Maxwell has rolled out an awesome Book on Personal Leadership, the framework is very practical for leaders in development, and leaders. A must have title for Personal Leadership.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2022In The 360 Degree Leader, by John C. Maxwell, he takes leadership out of the realm of top management only and puts it back into the hands of those in middle management positions as well! He does this by taking his over 30 years of leading and sharing insights that will help those in the middle of organizations to influence those around them in all directions—those above them, those below them, and even those on the same level as they are. This is what Maxwell calls a 360-degree leader!
In this book, Maxwell does a great job at getting us to consider how, if we want to, we truly can influence those around us regardless of where we’re at or where they are in our organization (and I would argue in our life as well). One of the tools he uses to do this is the real-life stories from himself, his team, and other leaders he knows sprinkled through the book. Each of these stories really helps to bring home a point that he is trying to make.
I also enjoyed how each of the main sections was broken up into bite-sized chapters covering only one main principle each. This made the concepts easier to digest and allowed him to build whole sections’ concepts up over time. However, if you are trying to read whole sections of the book at a time, this can get a little overwhelming due to their size.
If you are into leadership development and desire to have more influence, especially over your bosses, then I recommend this book to you :)
- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2024Great book - Had the whole management team read it -
Highly recommend

ViryReviewed in Mexico on January 14, 20225.0 out of 5 stars Bastante bien
Entregaron antes de lle superado pero se lo dieron a alguien más (a un vecino) así que en mis manos estuvo hasta 2 días después. Es de pasta suave pero resistente, lo suficientemente gruesa como para aguantar. Las hojas también son gruesas, pero ligeras, así que no se transparenta nada. Bien impreso, buen tamaño de fuente. Me gustó.

Excellent book, considering managing and leading up down and sideways. Great tips and insights. Might be coloured to the areans in which the authors has personally experienced, but I would say as a middle manager or lower minion myself certainly I have experienced challenges scenarios described in this book. Great advice, but needs also to be considered in the context you are working in (ie all things will not hold true) -Worth the time though and effort to study in furthering your career. The author is probably the mentor you wish you had...
