Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first book I've read by John Maxwell and I must say I was very impressed with this book. "Winning With People" identifies several strategies that you can use to help improve all of your relationships including business, marriage, and friendships.
Each chapter starts out with a story that illustrates the point for the chapter, which is then followed with a point-by-point description of each principle. John Maxwell also includes a variety of personal experiences he has had (including several failures and hard lessons) which makes it easy to identify with him.
I honestly could not find anything bad to say about this book. The organization, delivery, and style is flawless.
Full of quotes, references to other books, and just plain good advice, I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to improve their relationships. 5 out of 5 stars.
Book Review: Not a complete victory
Summary: 4 Stars
First, I'm a John C Maxwell fanatic - his book 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is the book I suggest to all future readers to read FIRST!! Although Winning With People is worth the read, it does not jump out at you like several of his previous books. The book has no new ideas or concepts John is famous for bringing to the forefront. I think the book will do well for training organizations how to deal with each other but unlike his two previously released books Thinking for a Change and Today Matters, Winning with People leaves me not wanting to immediately reread his work. Don't worry Dr Maxwell, I'm still an automatic on any future effort - you make me look deep into my leadership everytime - thanks and continue to do great work. Book Review: Winning With People by John C Maxwell
Summary: 5 Stars
The author begins with asking the reader to do a self examination to determine "what is happening within us". Often, this is a key
to what motivates us and the rationale behind our actions and
choices. Next, he espouses the value of selecting win/win options or scenarios in order to gain greater consent. The author advises us to hire fewer people with greater potential and capacity for sustained work/ contribution to the enterprise. Service is espoused as an important value because it is the hallmark for attracting and retaining valued customers. Relationships are "cultivated" over longer time periods rather than the short term. The notion of cultivation implies a steady but certain incremental development of clients and employees which will make permanency more probable. It is important
to understand and have empathy with people in order to cultivate
relationships for the longer term. Lastly, the author asks that we "raise the bar" of our own personal standards both
qualitatively and quantitatively. The work provides us with
the basics, as well as the fine nuances with regard to winning with people. This book is a bit more structured than the
Andrew Carnegie works; however, the themes and ultimate objectives have substantial congruency.
Book Review: NOT read by the author - disappointing - uninspired reading
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a huge fan of John Maxwell and love to listen to tapes of his books read by him. This one is NOT read by the author - it is disappointing - it is an OK but uninspired reading. When you hear that "I" did this or "I" heard that and you know that it is not John's voice then it is just not the same. The principles in the book are great and worth the read but John needs to continue doing the reading for the audios.
