Summary of John C. Maxwell's Ethics 101


Book Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The state of ethics in business is disgusting. People are sick of the rampant dishonest and unethical dealings they see every day. #2 The topic of ethics is a negative one, and many believe that they have to choose between being ethical and winning. But you don’t have to choose between being ethical and winning. You can be ethical and win. #3 If I believe that I have only two choices: to win by doing whatever it takes, even if it’s unethical, or to have ethics and lose, I’m faced with a moral dilemma. Few people set out with the desire to be dishonest, but nobody wants to lose. #4 The idea that right is determined by the situation and love can justify anything has become prevalent in today’s society. This philosophy has spread rapidly through the theological and educational worlds, and is now being applied to the business world.

Use this helpful book to learn about the leadership tools to fuel success, grow your team, and become the visionary you were meant to be. True leadership isn't a matter of having a certain job or title. In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To become more than "the boss" people follow only because they are required to, you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them. To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and build a team that produces. You need to help people to develop their skills to become leaders in their own right. And if you have the skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership—where experience will allow you to extend your influence beyond your immediate reach and time for the benefit of others. The 5 Levels of Leadership are: 1. Position—People follow because they have to. 2. Permission—People follow because they want to. 3. Production—People follow because of what you have done for the organization. 4. People Development—People follow because of what you have done for them personally. 5. Pinnacle—People follow because of who you are and what you represent. Through humor, in-depth insight, and examples, internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell describes each of these stages of leadership. He shows you how to master each level and rise up to the next to become a more influential, respected, and successful leader.
