What I'm Reading: 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership

I’m a part of a Book Club. Now, this isn’t your traditional Book Club. This one consists of JE, Jessica, myself, and John Maxwell’s book 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. The Revised and Updated 10th Anniversary Edition, in case you were wondering. 

Once a week, we all walk down to the LifeWay cafeteria, grab a table, and talk about one of these laws. The laws are widespread leadership principles, such as influence, leader’s intuition, and respect. Maxwell is a great story-teller and I love how he takes stories and helps you really catch the vision of each law. 

At the end of every chapter, there is a section that helps you apply that specific law to your life. There are some questions to ask yourself, questions for others to answer about where you currently are in leadership, and also some suggestions of things that you implement in your life to grow your leadership. Being in the position that I am, coming up on my 2nd year of directing camp, I have loved evaluating my leadership skills and seeing potential for growth. But that’s not it, Maxwell doesn’t just want you to see the potential, but to equip you to actually strive for that growth. 

I’ve learned so much from this book and I would encourage anyone to pick it up and read it. As John Maxwell would say, leadership is a journey and it develops daily!
