I love John Maxwell, and his style of anecdotal writing, which is always prone to bring out challenging ideas. That being said, this wasn’t his best that I’ve read by any stretch.

I enjoyed being able to read this in a group setting and discuss ideas inspired by the book, but unlike some of Maxwells others, I don’t think I would take much out of it if I were reading it alone.

A great introduction to leadership! As someone who is neither in a leadership role nor has ever been in a leadership role, this book had so much to offer. It highlights the importance of relationships. It provides insight to “workers” as to what helps build enthusiasm and makes a great leader. It also provides information on what can be asked of their leaders to develop their skills while navigating the career landscape. A book that applies to all members of an organization.

Si ya leíste John C Maxwell tiende a ser repetitivo, sino es bueno acercamiento, pero para darle oportunidad a 1 solamente, claro que hay normas que puedas aplicar día a día, más si tienes gente a tu cargo, o siempre que tengas algo con tu jefe, vale la pena, si saco buenas ideas de ahí. Ser empático con tus pares ayuda a que la gente te siga, no estar aislado en tu cubículo, aunque no lo tengas tendemos a hacerlo.

Muy bueno el libro, nos relata que desde la posición que estamos podemos ser líderes e influir a nuestros jefes, colegas. Te da las pautas para ser el líder 360 que toda organización debería tener y que toda persona debería ser un líder de 360.

I started this book while preparing to move into a leadership role. I found that I was already applying many of the principals for leading up and across, and I am excited to apply the principles for leading down. I would highly recommend this book to anyone regardless of their career or position.

Maxwell refreshes my leadership ideals when I'm feeling like I need a 'pick me up' and with out a doubt, I always feel like I can conquer anything having his words of wisdom.

Si nunca has leído a Maxwell, puedes empezar por Líder 360, es un libro muy pragmático, bastante claro y directo, te ayudará a ingresar al mundo del liderazgo, a abrir los ojos y entender el ¿Por que?, ¿Cómo? y ¿Para que? En todos las direcciones desde influir y apoyar a los jefes, hasta influir y ser apoyado por los subordinados.

Un libro bastante completo y recomendado 🤩🙌🏻

A "how to" guide on how to lead from anywhere in your organisation. I found this particularly helpful for my role in middle management.

"No matter what our circumstances, our greatest limitation isn't the leaders above us- it's the spirit within us... leadership is as much disposition as position." (p40)

It is a book that you would like to read together with The 360° Leader. It set you to thinking rather than leaving you hanging wondering how should it work.
