About this item

Lack of self-awareness is the single greatest obstacle leaders face in their development, effectiveness, and advancement. Dr. John C. Maxwell will help any leader become more self-aware, focused, and confident.

With 50 years of leading and teaching experience, influential leadership expert and speaker John C. Maxwell can help you become your best leadership self.

In The Self-Aware Leader, Maxwell teaches you how to:

  • Gauge your effectiveness as a leader.
  • Make better choices that lead to success.
  • Discover and correct your own mistakes.
  • Improve your leadership with the team.
  • Make the right trades in your career.

Self-awareness is key for new and seasoned leaders who want to avoid micro-managing, handle criticism with grace, and give others the credit they deserve. Maxwell also aims to help current and new managers looking to identify their strengths, become a better learner, and improve listening skills.

When leaders don’t see themselves clearly, understand their strengths and weaknesses, or recognize their negative interactions with their team, they limit their influence and undermine their own effectiveness. What’s the solution? Become a self-aware leader.

I guess leadership comes easy for me because I’m already putting into practice what this book is about.
This book is pretty much common sense, and since a lot of people lack it, it needed to be written. Just, be self aware. Put people ahead of yourself, and admit when you’re wrong. Highly recommend

Americans of all political persuasions should read this book.
At a minimum, it will help you understand what a leader is and what to look for in a leader; in addition to helping you grow as a leader.
A couple examples from the book:
"Only a leader who has followed well knows how to lead others well".
"Leaders who have never followed well or submitted to authority tend to be prideful, unrealistic, rigid, and autocratic".
The book also references a quote from Bishop Fulton J. Sheen - "Civilization is always in danger when those who have never learned to obey are given the right to command".
The above are direct quotes from the book.
They are not my own.
