John C. Maxwell Named #1 Leadership Guru For Second Year in a Row
(NASHVILLE, TN) For the second year in a row, renowned author, John C. Maxwell, has been named the world’s most influential leadership guru. Dr. Maxwell, founder of three leadership organizations—Maximum Impact, INJOY Stewardship and EQUIP—was voted No. 1 in a worldwide survey sponsored by Leadership Gurus International.
Selection of the world’s top 30 leadership gurus was based on the scope and substance of each individual’s influence. The guiding objective was to identify “practitioners who most effectively develop and instill leadership in others.” Voters included professionals across the spectrum of business and industry, academic leaders, and consultants in numerous fields.
“It is a privilege to be chosen for this honor two years in a row by my colleagues in leadership both in America and throughout the world,” says Dr. Maxwell.
John C. Maxwell is an internationally recognized leadership expert, speaker, and author who has sold more than 14 million books. His organizations have trained more than 2 million leaders worldwide. Every year he speaks to Fortune 500 companies, international government leaders, and organizations as diverse as the United States Military Academy at West Point, the United Nations, and the National Football League. A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Business Week best-selling author, Maxwell was one of 25 authors and artists named to Amazon.com’s 10th Anniversary Hall of Fame. Three of his books, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, Developing the Leader Within You, and The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader have each sold more than a million copies.
Maxwell’s forthcoming book Leadership Gold: Lessons I’ve Learned from a Lifetime of Leading will be released April 1, 2008.
