HarperCollins and John C. Maxwell are celebrating the milestone anniversary of Maxwell’s New York Times bestselling book, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, with the publication of a revised and updated 25th anniversary edition. This will be the first time Maxwell has read the full unabridged audiobook.

There will also be stories from some of today’s most impactful leaders, like entrepreneur and cofounder of IT Cosmetics Jamie Kern Lima, Maxwell Leadership CEO Mark Cole, and author and marketing expert Jeff Henderson, on how they have applied these laws to their own success journeys.

Maxwell has gone through every word of this book and updated it for the next generation of leaders.

What Maxwell didn’t change are the powerful leadership truths that have been helping people become better leaders for the last quarter century.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Great listen, really enjoyed the narration by John himself. You get so much more out of it. Excellent laws for every leader to live by.

Excellent book

Well articulated, great examples and solid presentation over all. Very impressed with this book and the audible version. I was able to follow along and every word kept me engaged, coming back for more. This should be required reading/listening for every leader.

Time to become a better leader!

Read and implement! I became better after reading this book and now I am eager to put these ideas into practice and share my results. Follow my socials to keep track of my journey: @bryandionicio @thewiidproject on all platforms

Experience, knowledge and authenticity.

Wonderful book for leaders. Covers all aspects of how to approach leading a team in any work place.

Stories of Leadership that makes sense!

The end with real life examples from leaders brought it to life for me. It made me see it clearly how I can use each law of leadership not only in my professional life, but also in my personal life.

an intimate conversation

This was best Maxwell book I've listened to, largely because of the presentation. You not only get to hear Maxwell read his book, but he adds to each chapter and provides personal reflection on his own words that you can't duplicate in written form. This is a must buy.

One of The Leadership Books That Shaped My Career

Almost 15 years ago, in my early 20s, the 10th Anniversary Edition of this book changed the trajectory of my career as an engineering professional - realising that the key to thriving in the corporate space was combining my technical professional abilities with technical leadership abilities.

Via this book, I realised that leadership forms part of the core of exceptional human and business performance alongside excellence in problem-solving, people development and process improvement.

The book provides insights into 21 principles supported by real-world stories from the lives of various leaders from the past and present.

In almost every other leadership book that I've studied, I've typically noticed that the ideas shared typically align with one or more of the principles from The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. It makes a solid benchmark to have in leadership philosophy and thinking.

The updates and revisions are good, including a story which I noted related to "The Law of Navigation" in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I'll also share that almost 10 years ago, John Maxwell became one of my mentors as I've grown from a corporate engineering employee into an entrepreneur, consultant and trainer. This book and mentorship from John have been factors in my achievements so far.

Today, I'm continuing to work on practising these principles at every stage of my journey with the evolving leadership needs of building an organisation from the ground up while also sharing these principles with my team and clients alike.

This title became a global best-seller for a reason.

Whether you're in the early stages of your career or an experienced executive, it's a title to have on your shelf for essential reading to frame how you look at leadership challenges and the strengths and weaknesses of those around you.

I'm pleased to collect this 25th Anniversary Audio Edition on its release in May 2022 to add to my signed 10th Anniversary Print Edition. I hope this review helps someone who is thinking about getting this title.

Thanks and congratulations to John Maxwell on the 25th Anniversary of this bestseller!
