The 360 Degree Leader – Book Review

By November 8, 2011 Book Reviews

John Maxwell – For many, one can simply utter the name, or say “…the new book by John Maxwell”, and the feelings of excitement and anticipation to read it soon are built up.

This book is no exception. I first was introduced to John Maxwell by his Leadership Bible, and have heard him speak on a few occasions. I must admit, I had a bit of hesitation when choosing to read this title (I was given a complimentary copy of the e-book version from Booksneeze in exchange for a non-biased review). When I opened the book, I thought that the concept “lead from anywhere within the organization” was a bit far-fetched, and unrealistic. However, Maxwell makes it very plain that Leadership is what you make it…

His insight can be impactful, from the know-it-all boss, to the frustrated mid-level employee. John Maxwell again hits it out of the park with practical, sound leadership advice.
