Becoming a Person of Influence: How to Positively Impact the Lives of OthersNovember 24, 2008 Angela M. Hooper(USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I order these types of books often for my friend. This is the second book that I have taken a peek at, and had to keep reading.
This book will help anyone who wants to prevail and be excellent in the career path that you have chosen. It will teach you how to inspire others toward personal development and achievement. It will show you how to endure excellent leadership qualities and be a "better you." Also, there are worksheets in this book for you to check yourself. If you want to move up the corporate ladder, this is the book for you.
A Person of InfluenceOctober 23, 2008 S. Tyler(Tulsa OK) Integrity is the center theme of this book, and although most of the suggestions are very basic, they are well worth reviewing. Good leadership book.
Not what I was looking for.March 25, 2008 N. Pierce(Southern Illinois) As an admirer and student of John Maxwell, I was a bit disappointed with this one. I might offer this book as a primer on leadership for those with absolutely no knowledge, as its ideas are very general and paint a vague picture of how to deal with people. The advice in the book often resorts to truisms and cliches (the equivalent of "treat people like they're important and you'll be important to them.") I usually highlight my books to death, but I honestly found very little new information aside from the occasional thought provoking rephrase or summary. A majority of the book is comprised of Jim Dornan's personal stories and miscellaneous oft cited quotes. For newcomers to the self-improvement/leadership topic I would offer "The Magic Of Thinking Big" or "How To Have Power And Confidence In Dealing With People." Seasoned leaders will most likely find nothing new here. Sure, you could find a lot worse things to read, but there are more helpful books out there as well.
Becoming a Person of InfluenceNovember 29, 2007 Phillip V. Olsen Excellent book. I think it's Maxwell's finest work. The book has depth and appears to be a combination of notes from his speeches as well as notes from seminars and lectures he's delivered.
Practical, important guideAugust 24, 2007 Rolf Dobelli(Switzerland) This book holds a wealth of practical knowledge for those who want to move up the corporate food chain. But even if you don't have professional ambitions and simply want to be a better human being, you've come to the right place. John C. Maxwell and Jim Dornan start with the basics, teaching that honesty, integrity, unselfishness, kindness and understanding are crucial components of any relationship, business or personal. They believe that as you strengthen your character, you will enjoy a more fulfilling and productive life, at home and at work. Since they reframed some concepts to fit chapter themes, the material is repetitive at times, but it is spiced with entertaining anecdotes and glimpses of business celebrities (such as Sam Walton). We think up-and-coming leaders will want this on their reading lists, along with Maxwell's other boosters.
