Ratings and reviews

It has a lot of really great points throughout the book, but in between those points feels like filler content and illustrations. The book could have easily been simplified and summarized into a list, like Maxwell's other title, The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader.

John Maxwell you are the catalyst to my success. I love your books!!!.....I haven't seen anywhere a book that communicates well with my heart as yours.

Lots of Practical info to process and revisit over time.
