Twenty-five years ago, John C. Maxwell published a book that forever transformed how we think about leadership. Developing the Leader Within You revolutionized the way leaders are made and, in the process, sold more than one million copies. Now, Maxwell returns to his classic text to include the leadership insights and practices he's learned in the decades since the book first appeared. Thoroughly revised and with two completely new chapters, this new edition updates the foundational principles for transformative leadership that Maxwell has used as a leader for more than forty years. No matter what arena you are called to-family, church, business, nonprofit-the principles Maxwell shares will positively impact your life and the lives of those around you. New listeners as well as longtime fans of Maxwell and the original book won't want to miss out on this one.
