I started a new book on leadership yesterday written by John C. Maxwell. The book is called Developing the Leader Within You and has been really good so far. Click on the link for more information!
Here are some key points from the early chapters:
1) Leadership is influence
2) Leadership is the ability to obtain followers
3) You cannot overestimate the unimportance of practically everything.
4) Efficiency is the foundation for survival. Effectiveness is the foundation for success.
5) Success is the progressive realization of a predetermined goal.
6) Don’t forget the 80/20 rule! 80% of your production will come from 20% of your priorities / organization / accounts.
7) Sociologists say even the most introverted person will influence 10,000 people in their lifetime! Leave a mark not a scar!
