Developing The Leader Within You 2.0 is a book written by Mr. John c. Maxwell.

It is a revised version of
his earlier book with the same name “Developing The Leader Within You” the book that transformed
how people think about leadership which was written twenty-five years ago. In this book the author
assert that leaders were made not born. In this book Mr. Maxwell also offered people a way to develop
as leaders.

John C. Maxwell is an internationally known, bestselling author, coach and a speaker who has sold more
than 26 million books in fifty languages John Maxwell has been called the world’s most influential
leadership expert by Inc. He is the founder of James Maxwell groups. He started his professional career
as a minister in rural Indiana in 1969. During earlier stage of his career, he realized everything rises and
falls on leadership and leadership is one of the areas where he wanted to grow. Soon after gaining well
recognition as a speaker he started a company to help train leaders and distribute training resources.
After his retirement in 1995 he spent his time in writing, speaking, and training leaders ever since. Mr.
Maxwell have been sharing his leadership journey with others and teach what he had learned so that
the other could develop the leaders within them. He effectively recast revised 89% of the original
version of this book because he continues to Test, Fail, Learn, Improve & Re-enter the growth process
this work from the original. His book is a masterful balance between the aspirational and the practical in
terms of leading yourself and others in a way that will improve both the lives of those you lead and the
results you hope to achieve. I believe this book is for anyone who wants to become a better leader.

In this book Dr. John C. Maxwell describes the ten basic characteristics on the leadership. 1. The
definition of Leadership: influence 2. The key to leadership: priorities 3. The foundations of Leadership:
Character. 4. The ultimate test of leadership: Creating positive change. 5. The Quickest way to gain
leadership: Problem solving. 6. The extra plus in leadership: Attitude. 7. The heart of leadership: Serving
people. 8. The indispensable quality of leadership: Vision. 9. The price Tag of Leadership: Self-Discipline.
10. The Expansion of Leadership: Personal Growth.

I believe every individual character gets influenced by someone at some point of their life. The influence
that their get could be from the parents, mentors, philosophers, leaders etc. I learned that Dr. Maxwell
book Developing the leader within you so far has helped and influenced more than two million peoples
in developing and shaping up their leadership skills. I am a working professional, a team lead. At my job I
require strong people skills. Learned that Dr. Maxwell in his book Developing the leadership within you
has suggested simple but powerful strategies that I can apply to achieve my goals in getting there a lot
quicker. This book also recommended to entrepreneurs who have employees of hire outsources.
