Spring Session I:
- Developing the Leader within You, 2.0: lead by Dr. Hayes
By John C. Maxwell
Published
October 2nd 2005 by Thomas Nelson
About the Book. 224 pages
Twenty-five years ago, John Maxwell published the book that forever transformed how we think about leadership. Developing the Leader Within You revolutionized the way leaders are made and in the process sold
more than one million copies. Now John Maxwell returns to his classic text to include the leadership insights and practices he's learned in the decades since the book first appeared. Thoroughly revised and with two completely
new chapters, this new edition updates the foundational principles for transformative leadership that Maxwell has used as a leader for more than 40 years. No matter what arena you are called to--family, church, business, nonprofit--the
principles Maxwell shares will positively impact your own life and the lives of those around you.
Learn how to become a "natural born leader"! Refuting the idea that effective management requires a big ego, Maxwell explains that true leadership is an act of service. Outlining his principles with real-life anecdotes
and helpful charts, he demonstrates how to inspire and motivate others. This revised and updated edition includes two new chapters.
