Summary: Very true, easy read, worth your time
Comment: Highly recommended: Easy to follow, very clear, strong examples. A quick summary of 10 laws.
1) Law of Influence: The true measure of leadership is influence. Influence, nothing more, nothing less. Managers can maintain direction, but cannot change it. Leadership cannot be awarded, appointed, or assigned. It must be earned. It takes hard work.
2) Law of Progress: Leadership Develops Daily, not in a Day. Leaders are Learners. The goal is to get a little bit better everyday. During the day, you will influence 4 people.
3) Law of Navigation: Leaders must see farther, see more, and see before others do. Past success and failures give experience. Leaders must be positive. You must have faith that you can take all your people all the way. If you cannot do that I your mind, then you cannot do that in real life. The Secret to this Law is preparation.
4) Law of Solid Ground: Trust is the foundation of leadership. You cannot take shortcuts. It is like pocket change. Every good decision, you add. Every bad decision, you take away. People forgive occasional mistakes, but if you lose their trust. It is finished. Leadership is strategy and character, but if you must be without one. . .it is better to not have strategy
5) Law of Magnetism: Leaders always look for good people. Make a list of the qualities you want in your people. Do you have those skills? You get (not who you want), but who you are. Different people will not attract themselves to you. If you want to attract better people, time to improve yourself.
6) Law of Connection: Leaders touch the Heart before the Hand. People do not care how much you know, until they know that you care. Relate to people as individuals not as a group. It is the leader¡¯s job to connect first. The tougher the challenge, the greater the connection. Lead yourself, use your head. To lead others, use your heart.
7) Law of Empowerment: Only secure leaders give powers to others. People can only achieve when the leader empowers others. Great things happen when you give credit to others. Must have belief in people. Not like a boss who is always micromanaging your work.
8) Law of Buy-In: People buy into the Leader, then the Vision. You are the message. Athletes are hired as promoters of products. You cannot separate the leader from the cause. Ghandi. Silicon Valley start ups.
9) Law of Victory: Leaders Find a Way for the Team to Win. What does it take to be a winner? Inability to accept defeat. Not winning is unacceptable. Great leaders are at their best when the pressure is on.
10) Law of Priorities: Leaders understand that activity does not equal accomplishment. A leader is one who climbs the tallest tree, surveys the entire situation, and yells, ¡°WRONG JUNGLE.¡± 80/20 Principle

Summary: Maxwell Excels!
Comment: This book is not the first I have read by Maxwell, but I must say it is the best. Leadership is his forte, so when it comes to this topic he has a wealth of ideas to share. Each one of the 21 laws is applicable to church leadership or to corporate leadership.
Maxwell is easy to read, yet profound. His stories from real life illustrating each principle are extremely helpful and inspirational. This book definitely would be at the top of my recommended reading list for leaders, right beside "Courageous Leadership" by Bill Hybels.
If you've wanted to read Maxwell but aren't sure where to start among his many works, you've found the best place to begin!

Summary: The most concise and applicable book on leadership
Comment: This book is the best book on leadership i've ever read. It seems to me that the negative reviewers of this book misunderstood this book. The book is not meant to go step by step through all 21 laws. The book is meant to tell you what the laws are of leadership, it's ur responsibility to find out how you can use these laws in your life. Honestly the laws are practical and simple and they can be implemented as soon as u understand them just by the way u speak , how much u read, how many seminars you attend and audio training material you listen to. All those things will help increase your lid of leadership but that won't happen until you know what u need to work on and this book pinpoints what a true leader is and does in the world as we know it.
