Everyone who works with people is realizing that the old autocratic method of leadership simply doesn’t work. The way to win is to build a great team.

John C. Maxwell has been teaching the benefits of leadership and team building for years. Now he tackles the importance of teamwork head on, writing about teamwork being necessary for every kind of leader, and showing how team building can improve every area of your life.

Written in the style of the bestseller The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, this new book not only contains laws that you can count on when it comes to getting people to work together, but it tells them in such a way that you can start applying them to your own life today. And it’s illustrated with great stories of team leaders-and team breakers-from history, business, the church, and sports.

A Barnes & Noble exclusive: a specially priced one-volume collection of all four books in John Maxwell’s 101 series, this is the “what-you-need-to-know” guide for everyone who wants to make the most of their leadership opportunities.

Pulling together John Maxwell’s bestselling guides Relationships 101, Equipping 101, Attitude 101, and Leadership 101, REAL Leadership offers powerful inspiration in Maxwell’s trademark style. Focusing on the essential and time-tested qualities necessary for true leadership—influence, integrity, attitude, vision, problem solving, relationships, team building, and self-discipline—this book delivers practical steps for new and seasoned managers to develop true leadership in their lives and the lives of others.
