John C. Maxwell's 21 Laws of Leadership

John C. Maxwell wrote the book on leadership. 50 of them in fact. A common theme throughout Maxwell's books are that leaderhips is a measure of your personal effectiveness.

Here's what Wikipedia, the free, on-line encyclopedia, says about him:

John C. Maxwell (born 1947) is an evangelical Christian author, speaker, and pastor who has written more than 50 books, primarily focusing on leadership. Titles include The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader: Becoming the Person Others Will Want to Follow. His books have sold more than thirteen million copies, with several on the New York Times Best Seller List and translations in over fifty languages.
