Developing the Leadership around You
In the book Developing the Leadership Around You, Maxwell explores various aspects that make people leaders. Leaders ought to reexamine themselves; this helps them determine if they are engaging in acts that can raise potential leaders. In the quest of becoming the desired leaders and developing other to become the desired breed of leaders, the climate ought to be conducive. Maxwell takes an in-depth look at the responsibilities, tasks, daily requirements, and lifelong commitments of a leader. The first chapters of the book give guidelines for anyone who wishes to become a leader. Chapter’s seven to ten shine light on the promised land of a successful leader. Later chapters discuss the consequences of following every step as stated in the first six chapters. The arrangement of ideas is superb; Maxwell develops the book from the point of giving directions to that of showing what becomes of one after the keen observance of the guidelines.
In every step of developing a leader, Maxwell uses real-life examples to pass the message. For the reader, the book is a fascinating read; the incorporation of real-life examples injects energy into the reader to keep going. The cases studies used not only interest readers, but they help pass across the information contained in the book in a more relatable manner to the readers.
As much interesting as good the book look, there is a downside to the writing.

Maxwell uses a lot of personal experiences within the book. Personal experiences may serve the same purpose as the cases studies used, but it takes the eye of a third person to determine what is worth emulating from one’s life. For Maxwell to sue himself as an example, it does not stand out as convincing as the other cases studies.
