Leadership 101: What Ever Leader Needs to KnowReviewed by James A. Jacobs, 2010-02-06
A great book for leadership. If you are developing a style or looking at methods that work, this book is a must. This is an easy read that has helpful pointers...even for veterans. Common sense, straight-forward, I highly recommend. Leadership 101 is one of the few books I bought for my personal collection as I am working on my EdS (Education Specialist).
Maxwell Brings Interest to Self-HelpReviewed by Taylor Reynolds, 2009-12-14
After reading Maxwell's Success 101 and Attitude 101, Leadership
101 offered final advice on how to grow into a good leader. Maxwell
offers his advice in an upbeat, friendly way, and he is sure to
offer anecdotes for encouragement along the way. I hold a
leadership position at work right now; I am the head intern. I am
in charge of a group of four interns who turn to me for advice,
both personal and professional, but I wondered why my leadership
skills went unnoticed by them. I found that Part 2 of the book, The
Traits of a Leader, was the most beneficial section for me. It
helped me recognize the leadership qualities I was lacking. In this
section, I benefitted from the advice on how to prioritize my life,
and how to develop trust in my work relationships. It turns out
that the reason many of my interns did not follow me as their
leader is because I was not prioritizing their duties and I did not
trust them to do a good enough job. Once I applied these concepts
to my job, I saw a significant change in the way my interns were
reacting to me.
While I do not expect to use all of Maxwell's ideas, he breaks them
down into ideas that can be personally conceived. I found myself
applying his ideas and suggestions to my life, and in a self-help
book, there is nothing better than being able to apply the
guidelines to my own life. Throughout all three of Maxwell's books
that I read, I did not feel patronized or like I was being talked
down to. I was able to understand what he wanted me to do because
he used plenty of personal examples. If you are interested in ways
to apply leadership in your career or your life, this book will
give you good insight into how that should be done.

Maxwell has written a wonderful book. It is best read on a daily basis for inspirational ideas on leadership. When you have finished it, read it again. This was an excellent purchase.
Team BuildingReviewed by Barbara Vasquez, 2009-02-10
As a small business we are always looking for "take aways" that will help our staff personally and professionally. We found this Leadership 101 book to be an asset for us all during these challenging times. During a staff meeting, we discussed different sections of the book that each person felt would help them either in sales or with their families. We all felt that it was a worthwhile book to read over and over again. Thank you.
