Summary: "Good concept on leadership"
The 21 laws defines the leadership with 21 laws. Some of the laws we follow and some of these laws we don't follow. It gives an idea of what happens if we don't follow the laws. The self-introspection with the understanding of these 21 laws can help us identifing the missining links in leadership and work towards become a great leader.

Summary: "Practical, user-friendly and profound"
I was lucky enough to hear John Maxwell speak at a training course I attended and this book is an extension of his wisdom. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to develop greater levels of leadership in their lives - both professional and personal. To some, the topic may seem a little 'dry', however John's style of writing, like his presentation style, is easy to follow, practical and user-friendly. Buy this book and begin putting it's content into practice and enjoy the difference it will make in your life.

Summary: "No added value for becoming a good leader"
This book just describes the qualities a leader should have. It does not teach you how you become a leader.
The qualities a leader should have are that obvious that this book doesn't give you any added value.
Anyway the book is easy to read and it's build in logical chapters.
What disturbs me most, is how the author continues throughout the book to brag about his excellent leadership qualities. In my country, we don't like people who show off too much. After a few chapters, it realy worked on my nerves to hear for the 27th time the adoration of his own leadership skills.

Summary: "Laws?"
Yes, Maxwell writes and practices laws of leadership. I found some to be overlapping while others were more like pillars. His use of a broad scope of examples and references was great, but I am not a real fan of his.
In any case, quick and easy read. He's certainly worth a read even if you don't agree with the laws.
