Great book. Here is one thing that stuck out.

Activity vs Accomplishment

If I could pick one law to share with you it would be Law 17 — The Law of Priorities. “Leaders understand that activity is not necessarily accomplishment.” After two years staying busy at ARC, I have realized leadership lessons are easy to read and hard to live out.  It is easy to stay busy, but hard to stay focus and accomplish important task.

Maxwell says, “When we are busy, we naturally believe that we are achieving. But busyness does not equal productivity.”

If you want to learn about the other 20 laws you will have to read or listen to the book yourself.  Buy the audio book here…

It will be  cool to watch how the book evolves during this process. Here is my first shot at talking about communication {the topic for the new book}. johnmaxwellpost
