Leadership guru John C. Maxwell and his friend Jim Dornan share their straightforward, effective way for making an impact on the world: make an impact on individual people. How? Through influence. How to Influence People will empower you on your journey to becoming a potent and positive influence in your relationships both great and small. By pouring your life into other people, which is Dr. Maxwell’s definition of “mentorship,” you can truly make a difference. And when you have a meaningful impact on the lives of those around you--from your children and coworkers to your customers and the barista at your favorite coffee shop--it makes a difference in your life too.You’ll learn to perceive the stages of influence in your relationships and skillfully navigate your progress--from perfect stranger, to helpful confidant, to inspiring mentor--until, ultimately, you attain the highest honor there is for an influencer: becoming a multiplier of other influencers.
John Calvin Maxwell is an American author, speaker, and pastor who has written many books, primarily focusing on leadership. Titles include The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader. Some of his books have been on the New York Times Best Seller List.
بزرگترین درسی که از این کتاب گرفتم، موضوع درستکاری هست. همیشه تو خلوت خودم فکر می کردم اگر با یک پیشنهاد وسوسه کننده مواجه شدم که دریافتش نیازمند جا به جا کردن یک سری مرزهای اخلاقی باشه چه تصمیمی می گیرم. اگر قبلا بهش فکر می کردم که قبول کنم یا نه، الان این حس رو دارم که با قاطعیت هرچه تمام تر هر پیشنهادی رو که به خاطرش مجبور باشم روی خط قرمزهام پا بگذارم رو رد خواهم کرد.
این کتاب در ده فصل زیر تهیه شده و مناسب کسانی هست که می خوان تاثیر زیادی (مثبت) روی زندگی اطرافیانشون بذارن. هدف اولیه از تاثیر گذاری، رشد دادن اون ها و هدایت کردنشون در مسیر کمال هست و هدف نهایی از تاثیر گذاری این هست که اطرافیانمون رو به رهبرهایی با صلاحیت برای اثر گذاری بر زندگی نسل های بعدی یا اطرافیان خودشون هست.
Chapters are as follows: A person of influence has:
1. Integrity with people هر شخص تاثیر گذاری قبل از همه چیز باید قابل اعتماد باشه و مهمترین اصل قابل اعتماد بودن درستکاری در همه شرایط هست، حتی وقتی که هیچ کس حواسش به ما نیست!!!
2. Nurtures people گوته می گه: اگر با آدم ها همانطوری که هستند رفتار کنید، باعثب نذول و سقوط اون ها می شید ولی اگر طوری که می توانند باشند با آن ها رفتار کنید، باعث رشد و به کمال رسیدنشون می شید.
3. Faith in people آدمها مرز زمین و آسمان را می شکافند تا مطابق انتظاری که از آن ها دارید عمل کنند. ایمان عملی داشتن به آدم ها باعث آزادسازی پتانسیل بی کران آن ها می شود
4. Listens to people اگر در مکالمات فقط شما صحبت کنید هیچ چیز جدیدی یاد نخواهید گرفت. در تعامل با دیگران سعی کنید علاقه مند به فهمیدن طرفتان باشید نه تحت تاثیر قرار دادن آن ها.
5. Understands peole اگر توانایی درک آدم ها را نداشته باشید، هیچ دستاورد و موفقیتی در زندگی نخواهید داشت و هیچ وقت توانایی تاثیر گذاری در زندگی اطرافیانتان را بدست نخواهید آورد. لحظه ای که اشخاص باور کنند شما آن ها را می فهمید و درک می کنید، همه تلاششان را برای فهمیدن و درک کردن و دنبال کردن شما انجام خواهند داد. اگر خوب آدم ها را بفهمیم از هر ده مورد، نه بار خواهیم دید که همه آن ها نیتشان انجام کار درست یا کاری فکر می کنند درست می باشد است. knowing what people need and want is the key to understanding them.
6. Enlarges people
It's one thing to build a product; it's another thing to build a company, because companies are nothing but men, and the things that come out of them are no better than the people themselves. هیچ آینده ای در هیچ شغلی نیست، آینده از درون مردی که شغل را اداره می کند رشد می کند. هدف هر معلمی باید این باشد که به دانشجویانش یاد دهد چه طور مستقل از هر شخصی مسیر یاد گیری و رشد را دنبال کنند.
7. Navigates for other people
As you work with people, help them figure out not only their long-term destination but also smaller steps along the way. Help them identify attainable goals that will give them confidence, and they'll make progress. مشکلات، بهترین فرصت برای رشد و یادگیری را فراهم می کنند. The man who has no more problems to solve, is out of the game. وقتی که حل مسئله به یک عادت تبدیل شود ،هیچ مشکلی بزرگ جلوه نمی کند.
8. Connects with people
You can connect with people and lead them only if you value them هر شخصی در زندگی یک کلید ورودی به زندگیش دارد. برای فهمیدن آن شخص و پیدا کردن کلید کافیست دست آوردهای او را بررسی کنید و دقت کنید به چه چیزهایی شور و اشتیاق نشان می دهد.
9. Empowers people
Poeple under influence of an empowering person are like paper in the hands of a talented artist. No matter what they're made of, the can become treasures
10. Produces other influencers
The goal of a great leader is to help people to think more highly of themselves. کمال یک رهبر جایی مشخص می شود که نشان می دهد افرادی را تربیت می کنند که حتی ممکن است از خود او بهتر و با صلاحیت تر شوند و روزی از او عبور کنند. بزرگترین اصل اثر گذاری یک رهبر، ترتبیت رهبرانی اثرگذارتر از خود اوست که نسلی دیگر را بتوانند پرورش بدهند.
this book got me like 'ahh, that's why,,,' and so on. The book tell the reader as the opponent. I put myself among those people who want to be appreciated, listened to, being called by name, and so on. These behavior explained in the book actually how we respect ourselves before anyone else's.
No es para cualquier persona promedio; es para a alguien que tenga un puesto de liderazgo y no tenga la más mínima idea de como desempeñarse. Replento de historias que ejemplifican como ser un buen influyente a través de valores. Para nada manipulando.
I don't think this book was bad per se, but it ascribed a very one dimensional view of leadership and presupposed specific values. Personally I don't value those values (what a sentence) and so I found it hard to make sense of.
How to Influence people is a re-titled addition of Maxwell's earlier book "Becoming a person of influence." Its all about learning the characteristics of people that gain and maintain influence with others. The authors use each letter in the word INFLUENCER to form each chapter and character trait. Its breaks down as follows: I - Integrity with people N - Nurtures people F - Faith in people L - Listens to people U - Understands people E - Enlarges people N - Navigates people C - Connects with people E - Empowers people R - Reproduces influencers
Filled with practical tips, stories and questions this book is not only informative but also highly actionable(which I love).This book along with Winning with people are my favorite John Maxwell books. I highly recommend you add both to your library.
If you are a leader and want to influence others this is the book for you. The content in this book is clear, concise, and straight to the point with doable action steps to take immediately to become an INFLUENCER. He breaks it down as follows; I-Integrity N-Nurtures F-Faith L-Listens U-Understands E-Enlarges N-Navigates C-Connects E-Empowers R-Reproduces The way he breaks it down makes it easy for you to remember the principles that are needed to become an INFLUENCER. I gained a lot of knowledge and insight that I didn't realize before that I can use to influence others and I've realized a few approaches that I currently use that aren't working for me that I need to change. I am glad I read this book and I am excited to read "How to Win With People" next.
Típico libro de desarrollo personal, autoayuda y liderazgo, muy Made in USA. Aunque dice algunas cosas interesantes, me ha aburrido. La traducción al español no me ha gustado, muchos términos traducidos literalmente del inglés o al español de México.

El contenido está bien. Me pareció un poco repetitivo y tedioso en algunas partes y la cantidad de historias excede la necesidad de este recurso para ilustrar lo que se dice. Por otro lado, creo que al ser un libro de liderazgo debería llamarse distinto. El tema principal es el liderazgo, y el influenciar a las personas, la forma correcta de ejercerlo. En este sentido, centra todo demasiado en el liderazgo corporativo y a mí me costó conectar más que nada por eso. Al leer el título esperaba un libro distinto. Liderazgo corporativo es lo central en todo lo que dice. ¿Puede aplicarse a otras cosas? Sí, pero uno tiene que hacer el trabajito de deconstruir lo dicho y relacionarlo con su mundo.
This book made me really dive deep in myself and look at my actions in life with a whole new light. I thought I was doing well in certain areas but boy, was I in need of a check up and this book was definitely good medicine for my mind and my soul. Thankfully and surprisingly, there were wonderful faith elements in this book that were Jesus focused and I loved that! They're truly authentic in how they approach topics and you can tell their advice and guidance is lived as well as said. This audiobook will be on my re-read list yearly!
Recomiendo este libro a todo aquel que quiere leer de un experto en liderazgo las estrategias y las acciones a tomar para poder generar un impacto en las personas y hacer crecer tu entorno así mismo si tu propósito y llamado de vida tiene que ver con ser un líder de tu grupo o si quieres ser más influyente, la lectura es fresca, sencilla, muy cercana.
If you are having trouble communicating with others reading John Maxwell's books is a must. This book was inspirational on how to communicate with team members and customers! I really like the part where he talked about how to talk with other people. By giving you the exact methods of being a great listener, and how to communicate effectively without causing strife in the workplace is so important! This was a great book to read!
3 🌟 Nothing life changing. Very redundant and drags concepts out longer than necessary. It has good points but just didn’t seem extremely applicable to my currently life. If running a large business or coaching or something this might be more useful. Good concepts just dry and over explains concepts.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Great book with a lot of practical insight that helped mold how I view leadership and communication, and most importantly, love for people. However, I wouldn’t recommend this book to everyone. In the hands of a power-hungry, ego-driven individual, the insights from this book could be used in a gross, manipulative way.
John Maxwell and Jim Dornan’s book, ‘How to influence people: Make a difference in your world’ is quite insightful and straightforward regarding the role of influence in leadership. The ten key attributes of influence are well articulated. Commendable effort by the authors.
Great reminder that leadership is about influencing people, especially those all around you. Maxwell provides practical, everyday suggestions for application of Paul's instruction in Ephesians 4:11-12. Simple and helpful.
Awesome for anybody in a leadership position or just wants to become more influential. It's more simpler than it seems. In all, the main take away can be summed up as "treat others the way you want to be treated."
Maxwell is pure gold! His insights are impressive and timely. Both authors had great stories and tons of quotes from influential leaders in this book. If you want to better understand how to be an influencer, pick up this book.
في حالة شعورك بالتعب وفقدان الأمل من تأثيرك وأهمية وجودك في هذا العالم ، يعطيك الكتاب منظورا جديدا للتأثير وهو التأثير على الأفراد الطاقة الأكثر أهمية في حياتنا ، لم نخلق جميعا لنغير العالم ولكن بإمكاننا صناعة التغيير في أوساطنا الاجتماعية .
el mensaje central del libro radica en ponerse en los zapatos del otro y desear profundamente su éxito, es la mejor forma de poder influenciar a alguien. No es desear lo que yo quiero, sino desear el éxito en otros para lograr un efecto dominó.
كتاب ثري بالمعلومات يشرح الكاتب عن كيفية التأثير بالناس وكيف يتضاعف هذا التأثير لانه يمتد التأثير الايجابي للناس الذين يتأثرون بهم يعلمك كيف تكون نزيها وتشجع الناس وتنميهم وتصنع قادة اخرين كتاب غني بالمعلومات والقصص المفيدة وطريقة سرده جميلة يستحق القراءة واعادة القراءة
An easy read. I guess after learning all the principles in handling relationships from this book, my tiny brain understands that any method used in handling relationships that will inflict any kind of negative emotions on the other party is bad tactic.
Este libro es en mucho bastante importante si deseas desarrollar o tomar consciencia del potencial que tienes al relacionarte con los demás y en consecuencia como establecer más armonía con tu entorno
While it's human nature to desire influence for what you can get out of it, the authors remind readers that true influence occurs when we lay down our lives to serve others. I especially liked the first half of the book; the second half felt a little drawn out and repetitive of earlier concepts.
