High Road Leadership
by John C. Maxwell
Maxwell's response to a divided climate: twelve practices for leading with integrity, from valuing all people and giving more than you take to accounting for yourself and placing people above your own agenda. It is a character book dressed as a leadership book, and better for it.
Read it if…
you lead people who disagree with each other and want a way to hold the middle.
Skip it if…
you want strategy or execution; this is about the leader's conduct.
Three things you will actually use
- Take the high road because it is right, not because it works.
- Value people before you need them.
- Account for yourself first.
Do this first
Pick the practice you least want to do and do it with the person you least want to do it with.
Our verdict
Character dressed as leadership.
