John Maxwell's books have been required reading for my leadership team for years. I can't think of anyone better at distilling decades of leadership experience into practical, approachable principles that anyone can apply at any level of leadership.
--Dave Ramsey, host of The Dave Ramsey Show and bestselling author of The Total Money Makeover

Author and motivational speaker Maxwell continues his influential leadership trainings in this program. Leadership development involves a focused, lifelong series of lessons and experiences through five levels: Position, Permission, Production, People Development, and Pinnacle. In addition to describing each level (upside, downside, assessment, growth guide), Maxwell explains how each relates to the tenets presented in his earlier work, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. While less than one percent of all leaders will reach the Pinnacle, each one can grow their leadership level, enhancing the people and organization throughout one's career. -VERDICT Narrated by Maxwell, this audiobook is a must for his fans and an invaluable resource for all managerial professionals.
