The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership Tested by Time: Those Who Followed Them and Those Who Didn't

By James L. Garlow

Book Overview

Leaders change the world. They touch hearts. They inspire and invigorate; they sway history's course and the course of everyone who meets them. Are you a leader? You can be. In The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership Tested by Time, Jim Garlow takes a look at how ordinary people across time have used the 21 laws to become the most powerful, respected, and influential leaders in our world's history. You'll learn how individuals like Christopher Columbus, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and St. Francis of Assisi put the 21 laws to work -- before they were ever written in a book. You'll also learn from those who failed to use sound principles and squandered their positions of power. The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership Tested by Time will show you how to become a cutting-edge leader, full of godly authority and integrity. Throughout history, men and women have had opportunities to influence others. Some have succeeded; others have floundered. What made the difference?

Practical

John Maxwell published a great leadership book called "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership". It has benefited many and continues to do so through the years. This book, takes the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and shows how people in history lived them or did not live them. It is real practical. You might want to read John Maxwell's book before this one.

A must-have read!!!!

I've listened to some videos of John C. Maxwell's "Laws of Leadership" series a few years ago and now I bought this book based on it. It's a great way to mix history with Christian leadership and as a college history major, I found this book useful! I will be looking into John C. Maxwell's book series soon.

ARE YOU A LEADER?..... THEN YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!

This was an excellant book that dove deeper into John Maxwell's classic, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. It's presented similar to John's 21 Laws where each chapter is broken down into an individual Law, but James Garlow gives specific examples of how Great Leaders in History have succeeded by following these laws or have failed because they abused the laws of leadership. John Garlow's writing is clear and to the point and this book is definately worth the price. Your learning from a leader who has been following and studing with John Maxwell personally for the past fifteen years! This book is a MUST READ for anyone who wants to become a better leader/CEO, build an organization, and understand John Maxwell's 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership more in depth. BUY IT TODAY! You can't afford not to.

EXCELLENT MARRIAGE OF HISTORY & CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP LESSONS

I am a leadership trainer and give over 200 programs per year. My leadership library is extensive and varied. Most of the new leadership books are just "love song" books - they are saying the same thing in a different way. In this book, the messages are the same, but the writing methodology is fresh and different.James has accomplished an intriguing and "page turner" leadership lessons book by including detailed historic examples of each of Maxwell's 21!
