The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow – 5 Stars
This book has completely transformed my understanding of leadership and has become an invaluable resource in my professional journey. John Maxwell delivers profound wisdom in a remarkably accessible way that resonates whether you’re just starting your leadership path or have years of experience.The structure of breaking leadership into 21 distinct “laws” makes complex principles digestible and memorable. Each law is thoroughly explained with compelling real-world examples that demonstrate both success and failure in application. I particularly appreciated the laws of Influence, Process, and Connection – concepts that have already improved how I interact with my team.Maxwell’s writing style strikes the perfect balance between scholarly insight and practical guidance. The self-assessment tools at the end of each chapter prompted genuine reflection and helped me identify specific areas for growth in my leadership approach.What sets this book apart is its timelessness. Despite reading many leadership books over the years, the principles here feel foundational rather than trendy. I’ve found myself returning to different sections as I encounter new challenges, always finding relevant insights.I’ve already recommended this book to several colleagues, and we’ve had meaningful discussions about implementing these principles in our organization. If you’re serious about developing as a leader and creating lasting positive impact, this book is absolutely essential reading. It’s not just theory – it’s a practical roadmap for leadership excellence.

The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell – Review

Repetition: Some readers might find the content repetitive, as Maxwell often reiterates key points throughout the book. However, this can also help reinforce the concepts. 2. Depth: While the book covers many laws, some readers might feel that it lacks depth in certain areas. Each law is given a chapter, which means the coverage is broad but not always deep. 3.

A good place to start reading about leadership
Leadership books remind me of cooking, there are a finite number of common ingredients that make up the majority of dishes, but there seems to be an infinite number of ways to combine and present these ingredients.This is an excellent first or second leadership book. Don’t expect to see anything truly novel in any of the laws, but the total package is a tasty dish, I chose to read this book twice before writing this review. Maxwell uses stories from his church experience, sports, famous figures in history and business acquaintances to bring the laws to life. If you have been studying leadership seriously for a long time, you might choose to pass on this one, but it is a fast read and well written.My favorite line in the book is on page 190, “If leaders have to give up to go up, then they have to give up even more to stay up.” In an amazing twist, I just finished reading this chapter for the second time when it was time to leave my hotel room at Caesar’s Palace to go catch the Elton John Red Piano show. That night he sang a song, The Bridge, from his new album, THE CAPTAIN AND THE KID, where the chorus is:”And every one of us has to face that dayDo you cross the bridge or do you fade awayAnd every one of us that ever came to playHas to cross the bridge or fade away”.I did not get to sleep easily that night as I wondered what might be required of me in the coming weeks!I am not going to write about all 21 laws, but here are a few worth noting, the book opens with the Law of the Lid, which is essentially if you do not surround yourself with the very best people then you will limit what you can accomplish. We modify this later with rule 7, the law of respect, where people follow leaders stronger than themselves. And we end on law 21, the law of legacy, where the value of the leader is tested by time and whether or not he succeeded with succession.

I thought I had ordered the book, but I had ordered the CD by mistake, but it really was not a mistake. I listened to it in the car on the way to work and found John Maxwell easy to listen too, but really inspiring. I was encouraged to find that there were some elements that he had discussed that I found myself doing, so that was hugely encouraging. For any one embarking on a life of leadership or need to know that they are walking in the right direction, either get a copy of the book or like me get the CD.
