How Successful People Think by John C. Maxwell
This book is unique by not exactly saying how leaders should lead or behave or what to do, it goes into great depths of how to think.
There are 11 different ways of thinking and according to John C. Maxwell “No matter what your circumstances, you can learn to be a good thinker.” With every single different way of thinking he tells us what kind of thinking it is, how to train ourselves to be good at it and he brings up examples of that particular point of view. With big picture thinking we get perspective and usually big picture thinkers are going against the flow. With creative thinking we value ideas, explore options and we connect ideas to each other. With possibility thinking we believe in what we are doing and that gives us energy. These are just a few of his ideas and possibilities that he details and explains in this book.
Maxwell says “What we think determines who we are. Who we are determines what we do.”
So lets dig in and master the 11 ways of thinking to be successful in whatever we are doing!
