Editorial Reviews
Review
'John Maxwell hits the nail on the head in The Leader's Greatest Return. Much of our long-term success at Paychex has stemmed from our ability to attract, hire, and develop great leaders. I highly recommend this book for leaders seeking to develop this essential characteristic in their own organization.' Thomas Golisano, founder and Chairman of the Board, Paychex, Inc.
'Rachel and I are living examples of John's belief in the compounding value of developing leaders. By sitting at John's leadership development table, we've been able to expand our own organization by developing the leaders who will carry The Hollis Co. forward.' Dave Hollis, CEO, The Hollis Co. and author of Get Out of Your Own Way

This is a good quick read to remind yourself about leadership principles and what you can hope to achieve with it but in 2023, there's not much new that you wouldn't find in a collection of other resources.
