Thinking for a Change by John C. Maxwell

thinking for a Change

“At the heart of John C. Maxwell’s brilliant and inspiring book is a simple premise: To do well in life, we must think well. But can we actually learn new mental habits? THINKING FOR A CHANGE answers that with a resounding “yes” – and shows how changing your thinking can indeed change your life. Drawing on the words and deeds of many of the world’s greatest leaders and using interactive quizzes, this empowering book helps you assess your thinking style, guides you to new ones and step by step teaches you the secrets of: Big-Picture Thinking, Focused Thinking, Creative Thinking     and Shared Thinking”.


Thinking for a change.- I am quite convinced that the ability to organise thoughts and the information we possess is one of the keys to effective leadership. John Maxwell clearly excels at this ongoing task. He is also a great advocate of each person making quality thinking time for themselves. That is a subject I run across again and again these days. It’s always difficult to set aside time for prayer, reflection and thinking , but John Maxwell’s book is a great encouragement to do so. Again and again he inspires the reader to effective thinking and the development of ideas. That dimension of leadership is not often stressed as much as it needs to be. John Maxwell has done us a real favour.
