Winning with People
by John C. Maxwell
Twenty-five 'people principles' grouped by readiness, connection, trust, investment and synergy: the lens principle, the mirror principle, the pain principle, the elevator principle. It is Maxwell's relationships book, aphoristic and story-driven, and more useful than it looks for people who struggle with others.
Read it if…
you want a plain, principle-based guide to getting along and building trust.
Skip it if…
you want psychological depth; it is practical wisdom.
Three things you will actually use
- Who you are determines how you see others.
- Hurting people hurt people; look past the behavior.
- Be an elevator, not an anchor.
Do this first
Apply the elevator principle: notice whether you lift or lower each person you meet today.
Our verdict
Plain and practical.
