when I realized that I was in the most important leadership position of all--a husband and a father--this book came alive! I began to outline many of the quotes and examples which spoke to me. I have put many to practice. Years later, my 17 year old began to read the book. She, too, spontaneously began to outline quotes and examples. Now my 15 year old is reading it... It's been one of the best, practically motivational books on leadership we've read.

Developing the Leader within you is a fabulous resource for anyone who is serious about becoming the best they can be. A practical guide, the book gives you step-by-step mentoring in how to pull the best out of yourself and maximize your latent abilities. Unlike a sport in which people are limited by natural talent, Maxwell shows how anyone can develop into a leader of merit, character, and substance. It is a great read and a book that you should review over and over again. Excellent!
