Nuggets of leadership lessons brought together in one book.
This is a collection of quotes from john Maxwell's works. It is a good read for instant motivation and a very good book to keep on your nightstand to pick up a random page and read it for a crisp insight into the topic thats available on the page.

This book can be read in any order and can be read at one time r it can be staggered and read one page at time. It is compact and timely read for me.

If you love to spend few minutes everyday getting insights on leadership and motivation then this is an apt book for you.

I thank the author, Netgalley and the Publsher for approving my request to read and review the ARC and the opinions expressed are all mine

This book is collection of quotes from the author's previous works. It talks about dreams, productivity, growth and positive mindset. Each page has one such quotes so it can be read from any where.

The one quote I liked most is this - "Dreams are VALUABLE commodities. They propel us forward. They give us energy. they make us ENTHUSIASTIC. Everyone ought to have a dream." and there are more related to dreams. I get the feeling not that dreams are important and if you can align it with your purpose in life then it can be potent force for motivation in life.

I think that the author has summarized all the qualities required for a leader in this book through these 150 quotes.. and reading it multiple times can ingrain these ideas into our heart and brains that will ensure a better awareness about being leader. Great Book. Loved it.

The quotes were all ones from previous works. I received an ARC ebook and it was incredibly difficult to read. In places where I’m assuming there were supposed to be photos were big blank spaces and it constantly said “not to be reproduced”. It took away from any message I was intended to get.

I am huge John Maxwell fan. His books are clear, motivational, and actionable. This latest entry, 150 Essential Insights on Leadership, would be a fantastic foundational text for a course in leadership. I envision using the different chapters as both independent journaling exercises as well as providing the foundation for coherent group conversations about effective leadership. This book would also be a great tool when providing executive coaching. The confluence of simplicity of structure and depth of insight makes this a very user-friendly tool for growth. By focusing on one insight or a bundle of insights, leaders can focus in and refine their leadership effectiveness.

Quick book with inspirational and beautiful words of wisdom and quotes. John Maxwell delivers as he always does - I was pleasantly surprised and happy to have picked up this gem. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

One of my favorite aspects of reading John Maxwell is his ability to put an impactful idea into a compact, memorable statement. It's what makes his ideas "sticky" for me. This is a great collection of those memorable ideas mixed with a little scripture to frame each section. Definitely worth it for Maxwell fans or those looking to glean some of his key ideas without investing in his library.

I got this copy for free for a honest review via NetGalley. It was a quick read and felt like it was some recycled stuff that you see all over the place. It is worth reading it for some feel good type statements.

This is John Maxwell. I think I've loved all his books even though most say the same thing, but he's like a wonderful mentor that you can never go wrong with. This is inspirational and motivational.
