Not his best


Increasingly, John Maxwell's books are just rehashes of the same material. In [[ASIN:1400203597 The 360 Degree Leader: Developing Your Influence from Anywhere in the Organization]]he discusses the various levels of leadership and input that an individual can have in any organization. Though certainly helpful in breaking down stereotypes and encouraging readers to show their colors no matter where they find themselves, I did not find this book to be anything overly thrilling. An easy read, a good premise, not anything he hasn't said in other works or previous books. Overall 4 stars, but lacks the carpe diem moment to really earn that fifth "Wow" start out of me.

*Disclosure* I received a copy of this book as part of Thomas Nelson's Booksneeze Program.
