Everyone Communicates Few Connect is the title of prolific writer John C. Maxwell’s latest book. Maxwell is an expert on leadership and has trained over 5 million leaders in 126 countries through his organization known as EQUIP. This book deals with relating to the people you want to influence, whether it be one on one, with a small group, or before a large audience. I found the book enjoyable to read, especially since there were many personal anecdotes. Maxwell published part of the book on his blog before it was released so his potential readers could comment on his writing. Many of the reader comments were included in the final book, making it somewhat interactive. I found that interesting.
Maxwell is definitely a people person; he believes in people and wishes to empower them. The message that comes through loud and clear in this book is that communication has to be focused on the other person and not on self. There are many thought-provoking gems throughout the book. I would highly recommend it for teachers, preachers, and anyone who does public speaking. I give this book four out of five stars. The only reason I did not give it five is because it seemed a bit redundant after a while. The book could have been shorter and still had just as much impact.
A copy of this book was supplied to me by Thomas Nelson Publishers for the purpose of review.
