Publisher's Summary

A masterclass led by internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell revealing the 11 shifts you should make over the course of you career to keep innovating, improving, and influencing others to the highest levels of success in today’s unprecedented business climate.

Bonus Content: Hear number one New York Times best-selling author Rachel Hollis, Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastion, and motivational speaker and former NFL player Trent Shelton share their most significant “leadershifts” with John.

Change happens so rapidly today that leaders must be nimble and ready to adapt. Otherwise, they won't survive. International leadership expert John Maxwell says, the key is to learn how to “leadershift.”

In Leadershift, John C. Maxwell helps listeners make leadership changes that will positively enhance their organizational and personal growth. He does this by sharing the 11 shifts he made over the course of his long and successful leadership career. Each shift changed his trajectory and set him up for new and exciting achievements, strengthening and sustaining his leadership abilities and making him the admired leadership expert he is today.

Among those leadershifts are “the Adaptive Shift from Plan A to Option A,” “the Production Shift from Ladder Climbing to Ladder Building,” and “the Influence Shift from Positional Authority to Moral Authority.” Maxwell gives specific guidance about how to make these shifts in their own lives. Each one requires them to change the way they think, act, and ultimately lead so they can be successful in a world that never remains the same.

8 hours with Maxwell!

Loved the personal summary of each chapter by Maxwell himself. And wasn’t expecting the 2 hours of live talks by other leaders and motivational speakers afterwards.
Well worth it!

a book full of repetitive twisted cliches

This was my first John C. Maxwell book and I think it would be my last as well, he has an amazing voice to be fair and his performance was not that bad, but the content was full of fantasy world ideals.
I'd suggest this book if you live in Disney universe

If you only read one leadership book...

This book is an amazing compilation of what one of the most talented and experienced leaders learned through his 70 + years. I had the pleasure of hearing John Maxwell speak years ago, and have read two of his previous books. It just keeps getting better and better. This book describes the evolution of a leader and I've never read anything quite like this. It's fascinating to hear him describe the changes and growth he realized over the years, and it is a great inspiration to develop into an extraordinary leader. After hearing this book I ordered 12 hard cover copies to go through with my management team.

Inspiring!

I love hearing the book in the author’s own voice. The content of the book was easy to follow, highly applicable and very inspiring! Each chapter urged me toward a desire for greatness in the hopes to inspire others and great value in others. The interviews at the end were icing on the cake. The thought behind the three very different leaders/stories/speaking styles was genius. The question/answer with John added such insight and value. I want to listen to it again.

Leader Shift!

This is a very interesting, insightful and full of life experience of John Maxwell. An important read / listen to any person that desire to see change in their life or business. Learn the secrets of success from a book based on real life experience not just some theories.

Automatic Transmission Overhaul!

The GMC Step-side pickup truck that once belonged to my father one day stopped shifting gears. My strong curiosity got the best of me and I convinced myself I could fix it on my own. Now, if you're a mechanic you probably know how crazy this sounds.

It was a 4L60E automatic transmission. I found a parts distributor called Transtar really close to where I worked. I ordered a transmission overhaul kit and stopped by the shop to pick it up. When I told the salesperson I was the one doing the work he turned pale and said it would be nearly impossible for anyone to successfully do this having never done it before, but if I was going to spend the money and time I'd better follow him to his office.

For the next 3-hours this master mechanic went over in full detail the operations and techniques I would need to follow in exact order, with exact tolerances, and zero errors. Almost all of the information was in 'pictorial diagrams' and 'exploded view charts'. Imagine a picture that shows a piece, inside a part, inside another part, connected to a bigger part, and so on.

Long story short, I built that transmission three times before feeling comfortable enough to reinstall it back into the truck where it is today running even better than it did when my dad drove it off of the showroom floor thanks to the high performance shift-kit I added. If you want anything bad enough you too can be successful! 

That to say, 'Leadershift' was to my personal development what the 3-hour talk with the master mechanic was to my transmission rebuild. The lessons from John Maxwell reminds me of the pictorial diagrams and exploded views along with all the techniques and tolerances needed for a successful rebuild. The lessons from John Maxwell fit like pieces, inside parts, within even larger parts, and so on.. only this time it wasn't my transmission, but my transformation.. not a gear shift, but a 'Leadershift'!

Get ready for your overhaul!!

Don't take my word for it.. Check it out!
What did you think?

Special Rachel Hollis & Trent Shelton surprise gift at the end!!

Wish I Did Not Buy This Book

I regretted buying this book from the first chapter. Just a series of poorly strung together anecdotes about management -not even leadership necessarily. I was expecting some real insights to how a leader of an organization in the grips of light-speed change managed to come out on top. Instead heard a series of tired maxims that struggled to keep pace with the interesting title.

I wish I could get my credit back for this one.

Good points buried by just repeating "leadershift"

Do you have the patience the hear someone use a made up word several times per sentence, several sentences in a row, as he keeps trying to make leadershift / leadershifting a word every ten to twenty seconds? I'd you can tolerate that without being distracted or annoyed by it, you'll likely be able to mine some beneficial ideas from this material and the author's experience. I have determined I cannot, and I wish I'd used this credit differently before a long flight.

Good reason for shifts to address current day

Most authors draw examples from their previous works, that is true here, but with a number of new lessons. These new lessons can be revaluations that garner a modern perspective to emphasize the need to shift.

I liked the book and come away with renewed commitment to challenge past thinking.

There is a collection of conference speaker recordings at the end that are worth a listen.
