Nice and short and to the point refresher on how to lead with purpose. Some great pointers on how to become a leader who serves others... peppered in was also a lot of bragging about his accomplishments but it was not so overpowering as to annoy. It serves to inspire others to lead more selflessly.

John Maxwell's books are always full of insights and self reflection. The book let's the reader tap into a purpose driven leadership and how ones values aligns to finding Significance.

Combining passion and leadership? Yes, please! This book goes into detail about how you can make a difference in the lives of the people you lead by finding likeminded people and putting them first. I highly recommend this book!

This was a really enjoyable 176 page pep talk mixed with autobiography and a bit of bragging, served with some straight forward guidelines on self improvement. Maxwell's mission isn't just to help you become a leader -- but to create a better world full of leaders: people who seek to understand and serve others, unselfishly, as a way of improving conditions everywhere for everyone. He speaks of finding a life of significance and pursuing your passion - nobody of significance was ever indifferent.

He doesn't cover a lot of new territory - but it's definitely the best of the known territory and it's always good to have a refresher. Inspiring and enjoyable to read.

I love a good book on leadership. Maxwell has been a favorite of mine for years. If you are looking to find both encouragement and practical information, this is a must-read. Grow within yourself and your business.

Living a life of significance is one of the best things I would like to do. I want to live my life sharing my gifts and making positive impact to the world. This book resonates with me in that it tells me exactly what I need to do live a life of meaning.

I'm incredibly grateful to have been able to receive this book prior to publication although I've only just read it today. This is another great John Maxwell book that really ties great leadership skills to having something bigger than yourself as your power source. He states, "The most influential leaders are powerful because of their unwavering belief in what they are trying to achieve." Do you want a title, a bigger salary, or do you want to serve? What is your passion? He also emphasizes having a story and being real. Finally, there is a great emphasis on joining and connecting with others to have an impact. "When you are already achieving at a highly effective level, you don't gain a great increase by getting significantly better yourself. You gain it by partnering or connecting with other good people who bring something different to the table. And that makes you better."

Title: The Power of Your Leadership
Author: John Maxwell



The book was about: This book was about combining your passion and your leadership in a what that goes beyond just successful numbers or sales. This book goes into detail about how you can make a difference in the lives of the people you lead by finding likeminded people and putting them first.

I loved: I loved a few quotes from the book:


· “Significant leadership is always about others, and serving them intentionally.”



· “… if you want to become a stronger leader- to learn, to grow, to achieve your dreams of significance, and to make a difference – have faith.”



· “We all start out life climbing our own ladders and living for ourselves. Over time, some people begin to shift from climbing to their own success, and they start building ladders for others to climb.”

I enjoyed the entire book, but these few quote really stuck out to me. I marked them in my ebook and have reread each section a few times. These type of quotes sit with you and make you a better leader.

Reading this book made me wonder about: John Maxwell is a wealth of knowledge on the subject of leadership. He related a lot of what he is talking about to his own experiences and his time as a pastor of many different churches. I really enjoyed this book and can see why so many people become “John Maxwell coaches.”

Overall, the book was: I give the book 4.75 stars out of 5! (it could be longer)

I received a review copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

The Power of Your Leadership: Making a Difference with Others byJohn C. Maxwell. The purpose of this book is for leaders to realize how important it is to help others and understanding the impact of even just one person.
I found several powerful quotes that made me think. A couple I found impactful were:
‘Significance comes from using what yo have to benefit others.”
“A passive life does not become a meaningful life. You cannot make a difference if you stand on the sidelines.”
He shares three stages: survival, success and significance. We need to experience success before we can move to significance.
Can you change your thinking from what am I going to receive to what am I going to give?
An eye opening chapter for me was when he shared that the Lord’s Prayer isn’t about me; it’s about us.
A wonderful challenge I picked up from the book was to make a list of the people that have added value to my life.
The end of each chapter shares some practical application.

Sharing his path from being a young, small-town pastor to the global leadership position that he has now, John Maxwell asks hard questions about what it means and what it takes to be a true leader. He shows how we can make a difference by pursuing our passion and being intentional in our actions, and then make an even greater impact by teaming up with people who share our values. John Maxwell again delivers a wonderful book on leadership as only he can.

Another great leadership book that is quick to read with some great nuggets of information that will help you become a better leader. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

Another great book by one of my favourite authors, highly recommended!

Another good read from John Maxwell. I really like his style of writing, friendly but direct and without the masses of padding that other writers in this genre often add. I preferred the first half of the book more. I like the authors honesty and good sound advice. The only criticism is that rather try and get people to buy into your dream shouldn't you be hoping people will create their own dreams and add the variety and love the world needs in many different and diverse ways. Maybe you should give people cards that say 'This is my dream, what does your dream look like'. I am sure you will inspire lots of people. I like to think of the world as being full of facilitators and inspirational people rather than leaders and followers.. My dream is that we all dream big and bring our own flavours to the world rather than following anyone else's. Just a thought ! A great book all the same. Thank you.
