Book Review: The Right To Lead By John Maxwell
Posted By Aaron Marcelli on July 17, 2010
I was given this book sometime ago and read it in spurts over the past months. I love anything leadership, anything Maxwell, and was really attracted to the title, as I believe leaders must earn the right to be called so. There were a few disappointments though in the books contents.
The book is divided into seven chapters (or “sections”) each, in typical Maxwell form, dedicated to one principle or practice of leadership. The layout is gift-book like with each chapter drawing out its message amidst pictures, quotes, stories, etc. I occasionally found the quotes to have little to do with the subject of the chapter. The largest part of each chapter was basically a copied and pasted selection from one of Maxwell’s previous books. So though the content of the writing was good, if you are familiar with John Maxwell, it was certainly not new.
Though there are certainly solid teachings and motivational stories within The Right to Lead, again, I thought some of the quotes to be random and the fact that the book contains 40 pages of content stretched out over 125 picture filled and large print pages in a hard back format, I feel the book is probably over-priced……but maybe I’ll let you borrow mine!
