The Leader’s Greatest Return

For John Maxwell, a renowned leadership expert and the author of many works on the subject, the greatest return on investment a leader can obtain consists in developing other leaders around them. This can be expected to have a significantly greater impact on the organization than focusing on one’s own accomplishments. To initiate this shift in approach, the author proposes a methodical ten-step process, accompanied by numerous examples and practical suggestions: identification of emerging leaders, empowerment, mentoring techniques, positioning and visibility within the organization, etc. Beyond these support practices, the author invites leaders to place themselves in the mindset of a “transfer plan”: identifying where their involvement is truly indispensable, and organizing the transfer of other roles and missions to their teams. A simultaneously inspiring and operational book.
