Search - John C Maxwell :: 25 Ways to Win With People

Good book, but was hoping for more practical applications

""Winning With People" was one of the best books I have ever read, so I was thrilled to see a book based on it that was supposed to be more specific.



"25 Ways To Win With People" is broken into 25 pieces of advice to "Win With People". Each chapter is short, easy to read and contains lots of interesting stories about either John Maxwell or other significant people.



However, I was really hoping for a book that would go into specifics on particular techniques to win with people. For example, the chapter "Write Notes Of Encouragement", I would have liked to have seen a list of different ways to encourage people via notes. I think that giving a list of examples would allow for better retention of the information, and would allow the reader a better starting point for brainstorming new ideas.



Regardless, "25 Ways To Win With People" is still a great book to pick up on relationships. I recommend it as well as the companion book "Winning With People". 4 out of 5 stars."

Very helpful tool

"This is the type of tool you will want to pop in your car cd player and listen to from time to time. It's packed with great tips for relational intelligence building. I think it's perfect for a busy leader/manager who knows he/she needs to grow in the way they communicate with people and yearns to excell.



As a Dad I have been using it to also teach my kids skills so our family environment is impacted by this tool as well."

Excellent

"This is my very first book review but I feel very strongly about this book. Anyone that has any interaction with people needs this book! I wish that I would have read it in college! This book is filled with very simple, common sense but yet sincere ways to make people feel good(about you)! It's a tough world but it can be made a little easier if you follow these simple techniques. Just pick one technique a day, give it a try, and see how much fun it is!"
