Dr. John Maxwell Book Recommendations

Six books every leader needs.

1. How Successful People Think: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life

Full of interactive questions and space for readers to provide answers, this workbook guides readers in applying the lessons they learned from How Successful People Think or the book it was derived from, Thinking For A Change.

Each of the 11 chapters will focus on one type of thinking, as well as contain a case study, critical thinking questions, a journal section, and an action plan of steps to help the reader create a personalized plan.


2. Change Your World:
  How Anyone, Anywhere Can Make A Difference

For many of us, the world we live in feels broken. Yet change is easier than we think!

Whatever the desire of your heart—better schools, better neighborhoods, more positive workplaces, more connected families, or more engaged communities—Change Your World will guide you through the entire process of taking action and starting to make an impact today right where you are.


3. The Five Levels of Leadership: Proven Steps to Maximize Your Potential

True leadership isn't a matter of having a certain job or title. In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of five levels every effective leader achieves. To become more than "the boss" (who people follow only because they are required to), you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them. And if you have the skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership.

Use this helpful book to learn about the leadership tools to fuel success, grow your team, and become the visionary you were meant to be.


4. The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You

Do you want to make a difference in the lives of others? Do you want to change the world? To do anything meaningful, you’re going to have to work with people. And if you’re working with people, you need to know how to lead them.

The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is a guide to the major principles of leadership. Learn how to connect with and influence people. Learn how to empower others and build an all-star leadership team. And learn how to create a succession plan and leave a legacy.


5. The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth: Live Them and Reach Your Potential

Are there tried and true principles that are always certain to help a person grow? John Maxwell says the answer is yes. He has been passionate about personal development for over 50 years, and for the first time, he teaches everything he has gleaned about what it takes to reach our potential.

This third book in John Maxwell's Laws series (following the 2-million seller The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork) will help you become a life-long learner whose potential keeps increasing and never gets "used up."


6. Leading in Tough Times: Overcome Even The Greatest Challenges With Courage and Confidence

Great leadership will face challenges. Markets will collapse, pandemics will come, and people will always provide new and interesting ways to make things difficult. But leaders must achieve results and build a team that produces, even when faced with difficult circumstances.

This all-new book from Dr. John Maxwell, created using content from several of his previous best-selling titles, is the ultimate guide to helping your team survive and even thrive when the unexpected happens. Identify your team's main challenges, take stock of your liabilities, understand what you can control, and use challenges as opportunities to rethink how you do things.
