Be a People Person
by John C. Maxwell
Early Maxwell on relationships: what draws people to you, how to encourage, confront and motivate, and how to handle difficult people. Pastoral in tone and more practical than the leadership books that followed.
Read it if…
you want simple relational habits from before Maxwell became a brand.

Skip it if…
you want research; it is anecdote and Scripture.

Three things you will actually use
- People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.
- Encouragement is oxygen.
- Confront the problem, not the person.
Do this first
Read the chapter on confrontation and use its ten steps once.
Our verdict
Early, practical, pastoral.
