Just what I needed at just the right time!
I have already recommended this book to so many! I’ve recently started a new network marketing business, nothing k ever saw myself doing. But what intrigues me the most is how God is leading me down new paths of self discovery and development. This book is so good and has solidified my calling as a servant leader!

Awesome insight and mind opening. It gives you a new way to indulge in your leadership process and in many ways re-lights your fire.
One of his best
While Maxwell gives a handful of questions leaders can ask, it's more a compilation of all of the leadership questions he's been asked. His answers are great and extremely applicable and packed full of Maxwell wisdom and insight. He does provide great questions in this goon that will bring clarity to many different leadership scenarios. I highly recommend it.
