Developing the Leader Within You

Leadership starts with developing yourself before leading others.

by John C. Maxwell

Maxwell's first and most enduring leadership book frames leadership as influence that can be cultivated through deliberate growth. He walks through traits and disciplines, priorities, integrity, vision, self-discipline, and developing people, that turn an ordinary person into an effective leader.

Before a founder can lead a team, they have to lead themselves. This foundational primer covers the personal disciplines and habits that scale, making it a useful starting point for anyone stepping into a leadership role for the first time.
