The 360° Leader – John C Maxwell






Leading from any position in an organisation

This book is so well written, its a delight to read with many insights that John C Maxwell has gained through a long career of mentoring leaders throughout organisations from top to bottom.  Discover your leadership capabilities and realise the possibilities that are unleashed when you know how to lead those around you – even if you are not the head of a corporation or organisation.

The idea that anybody can lead, their subordinates is an accepted standard, the idea that anybody can lead their peers, is generally accepted on proviso’s and the idea that anybody can lead their superior, well this hasn’t really been an understood standard to base one’s efforts in the workplace on.  Maxwell puts forward really viable arguments that this is possible and backs them up with time proven examples.  The effective leader impacts everybody around them – no matter what their title is.

Written with clear examples of great leaders, the issues leaders face and the solutions to just about any leadership issue, I do highly recommend this book as a lifelong reference for anybody in the world of work – it inspired me, let it inspire you.
