Abstract:

Maxwell’s book brings to fore the most noteworthy qualities of a successful leader. In this review, the author (Ms. Ladisla) saw interconnections between and among the 21 indispensable qualities of a leader. “I can’t help but see an interconnection or identify similarities and overlapping qualities in the situational samples or anecdotes …,” she wrote. Indeed, she concluded, “the qualities are linked together—prerequisites of the others.” The book could be read by leaders and non-leaders alike to reflect, review, and renew their traits that make them someone others would want to follow.
