Product Description
Ask the successful CEOs of major corporations, entrepreneurs, top salespeople, and pastors what characteristic is most needed for success in leadership positions, and they'll tell you-it's the ability to work with people. Some people are born with great relationship skills, but those who are not can learn to improve them. In Winning with People Maxwell has translated decades of experience into 25 People Principles that anyone can learn. Maxwell has divided the People Principles in this book according to the questions we must ask ourselves if we want to win with people: - Readiness: Are we prepared for relationships?
- Connection: Are we willing to focus on others?
- Trust: Can we build mutual trust?
- Investment: Are we willing to invest in others?
- Synergy: Can we create a win-win relationship?
Each section contains guiding People Principles. Some are intuitive, such as The Lens Principle: Who We Are Determines How We See Others. Others may go against your instincts, such as The Confrontation Principle: Caring for People Should Precede Confronting People. All of them are 100 percent practical!

 Excellent Life Applications for All Ages September 7, 2008
This book was given to me as a gift on audio. I also bought the hard cover in that the material was exceptional. The content is easy to read and intuitive to apply to all life circumstances. I intend to have my Middle School child also read the book. Great work.
 Deja Vu January 19, 2008

In "Winning with People" by John C. Maxwell, the author intends to provide a reference for building and improving relationships. Doing so, according to Maxwell, requires that we first look at ourselves in order to determine if we are really ready to develop relationships. In essence, the first step to improving relationships is to realize that often our relationship problems originate within ourselves. Once we have moved beyond what is holding us back from succeeding in relationships, we can move on to developing them by investing in people with interest and trust.
There are many good ideas in this book for developing relationships. However, the ideas will seem somewhat recycled. If you have read Dale Carnegie's book on influencing people, there won't be much new for you in this book. In fact, I got a sense of deja vu from reading this book. About the only thing new is Maxwell's stories of how he dealt with relationships as a pastor, which if you are thinking of reading this book for business purposes, will not add much to what Carnegie has already said.
Great reading December 24, 2007
Great read, simplystic and profound, I highly reccomend it!!!
I am a pastor of a church and yet even with years of experience in working with people, this book still challanged me in it's profound and simple principles, and improved my leadership ability by exposing some areas I could improve on. Since I bought this book for all my leaders to read, our church has even a healthier, happier environment than it had before, and I use to thnk it had a great environment before. I highly recommend it and plan on purchasing the rest of this author's books on leadership skill development.
A Must Read December 10, 2007
After reading only 60 pages I felt compelled to write a glowing review of this book. I had thought How to Win Frinds and Influence People would be a book that always stood out head and shoulders from any other self help book. This book is right up there with the best. John has much information packed in the first 60 pages and I am going to stop writing and go back to this fine work.
This book makes so much sense! August 24, 2007
I always thought the "Golden Rule" was to treat others how you want to be treated, but Maxwell's interesting take was that we should treat others how "they" want to be treated. It makes sense! Awesome read and practical application.
