Book
Description:
Whether leading in business, church, sports, or in your family,
teamwork is essential. In this new book, John Maxwell walks readers
through the various laws of leadership showing the importance of
working together. Everyone who works with people is realising that the old autocratic method of leadership simply doesn’t work. The way to win is to build a great team. John C. Maxwell has been teaching the benefits of leadership and team building for years. Now he tackles the importance of teamwork head on, writing about teamwork being necessary for every kind of leader, and showing how team building can improve every area of your life. Written in the style of Maxwell's best-seller 'The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership', this new book not only contains laws that you can count on when it comes to getting people to work together, but it tells them in such a way that you can start applying them to your own life today. And it’s illustrated with great stories of team leaders – and team breakers – from history, business, the church, and sports. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Synopsis: A companion workbook to the best-selling guide by the same name offers practical exercises and application suggestions that can help team leaders implement the author's "17 Laws" into their work and personal lives.
