Extended Synopsis

It is not enough for a leader to merely possess vision, energy, drive, and conviction. To truly see a dream come to fruition, one must learn how to actively develop the leaders around them. Why do some individuals achieve great personal success yet struggle to build a business or make a lasting impact in their organization? In Developing the Leaders Around You, John C. Maxwell reveals the answer: the greatest leadership principle is that those closest to the leader determine the ultimate success level of that leader.

Maxwell examines the nuanced differences between various leadership styles and outlines foundational principles for inspiring, motivating, and influencing others. These principles are adaptable and can be utilized in any organization to cultivate a culture of integrity and self-discipline. Readers will learn how to be effective in the highest calling of leadership by understanding the five characteristics that set true "leader managers" apart from run-of-the-mill managers: Vision, Value, Influence, Motivation, and Confidence.

Whether you are at the helm of a non-profit organization, managing a small business, or leading a Fortune 500 company, this book serves as a vital tool to help you take others to the limits of their potential—and elevate your organization to a completely new level.
