El Liderazgo

Esta obra trata el tema del liderazgo personal, al mostrar como se puede identificar y entrenar a los líderes y fomentar un espíritu de equipo.Las pautas del autor nos ayudarán a aumentar nuestra productividad personal y nos enseñarán cómo apoyar a otros para que ellos se desarrollen a su máximo. El autor, John C. Maxwell nos revela el secreto de desarrollarnos como líderes extraordinarios. Dos ejemplos de las ideas claras y sencillas del autor son:1. su definición de liderazgo, y 2. su idea de la diferencia entre gerencia y liderazgo. Según el autor el liderazgo es influencia. El que piensa que es líder y nadie lo sigue se engaña. Y la diferencia entre gerencia y liderazgo es: Lograr que otros hagan el trabajo es tarea de un gerente. Inspirar a otros a hacer un trabajo mejor es el logro de un líder. El liderazgo no es asunto de los que han nacido líderes. Las cualidades del liderazgo pueden adquirirse. Cuando uno relaciona estas cualidades con sus anhelos y metas está en camino de ser líder.

The best beginner book on the market

There are lots of gold nuggets of information in this book. If this is your first book on leadership, you'll love it. It's a great place to start. Among the important topics covered by Maxwell are how to build coalitions to effect change and how to nurture your employees to become leaders in their own right. Maxwell brings to bear psychological studies and anecdotes to motivate the reader to become a better leader. Perhaps the best part of this book are Maxwell's stories (Maxwell's leadership principles are backed up by humorous anecdotes from Benjamin Franklin, Abe Lincoln, and others). My one complaint about this book is that Maxwell has an annoying habit of dogmatically stating nonsense (there are 6 levels of leadership, if you work better with people, you're a follower, etc.). He can come off as awfully patronizing. But I still consider this book worth owning, especially for one just getting started on the subject. For what Maxwell is trying to accomplish, you won't get any better than this book.

This book is valuable for anyone who wishes to be a leader

Developing the Leader Within You is a wonderful resource for anyone in any kind of leadership position. If you lead thousands or if you have influence in the life of just one person, this book addresses issues of great importance to you. If you want to revolutionize how you interact with others, if you want to stop simply "managing" and have an impact in your sphere, this is the book for you.
