The Leadership Ideas of John Maxwell

On saturday I was part of a workshop sponsored by two organizations of Texas A&M-Commerce University. The conference was a joint affair sponsored by Kappa Delta Pi and Phi Delta Kappa. The topic of the keynote address was Leadership. Darla Logan was the speaker. Her speech was rooted in the ideas of leadership as presented by esteemed author John Maxwell.

I have never read any of Maxwell's work. However, I was captivated by Miss Logan's presentation and picked up on several parallels between Maxwell and other leadership pundits. After the meeting, I sought out Miss Logan in attempt to discuss further her ideas regarding leadership. My attempt was fruitless. She was quite busy with many other admirers. However, I have since ordered several copies of Mr. Maxwell's work "Leadership 101". One thing that I have found an indisputable common trait of most leaders is that they are lifelong learners. On this saturday, I have found yet another source to bolster my understanding and knowledge of what it takes to be an effective positive leader. I intend to read this work on the plane as I head to Boston for the next face to face.

Stephen Covey is in the bag. John Maxwell here I come.

Warmest Regards,
