Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this book is practical, easy to read, and especially useful for current and aspiring leaders. Many mention that it offers clear guidance on leading in the middle of an organization, with a helpful workbook and actionable leadership techniques.
Goodreads reviews are generally positive, with readers praising Maxwell’s storytelling and business leadership examples, though some note that the style can feel repetitive. The StoryGraph reviews echo that mix, describing it as informative and motivating, while a few readers felt it did not break much new ground.
Leader Network’s review calls it a strong, easy-to-read leadership book with useful principles for leading peers and direct reports. Across these sources, the most common theme is that the book is seen as a practical, motivational leadership resource rather than a highly original one.
