The world's most respected leadership expert gives five principles and five practices for breaking the invisible barrier to leadership and personal success.

You have a good idea but can't convince your peers of its merit. You crafted a groundbreaking strategy, but the team trudges on in the same old way. Certain people move forward in their career while you seem to be stuck. If this describes you or someone you know, the problem is not the quality of what you have to offer. The problem is how you connect with people to create the results you desire.

In Everyone Communicates, Few Connect, John Maxwell takes readers through the Five Connecting Principles and the Five Connecting Practices of top-notch achievers. He believes that a person's ability to create change and results in any organization-be it a company, church, nonprofit, or even a family-is directly tied to the ability to use the teachings of this book.

From September 1 to November 16, 2009 Maxwell opened up his book on his blog for input...

His blog recorded more than 100,000 page views.
The posts on the chapters received 1,437 different comments.
To the ten chapters, they added more than 75 of your stories, quotes and anecdotes.
They made over 100 additional changes based on your editorial suggestions.
They redesigned the cover to include the photos of contributors (i.e. YOU).
Then after receiving over 200 photographs – too many to fit on the cover – they redesigned the end papers to include every useable photo.

John C. Maxwell is an internationally recognized leadership expert, speaker, and author who has sold over 13 million books. His organizations have trained more than 2 million leaders worldwide. Dr. Maxwell is the founder of EQUIP and INJOY Stewardship Services.
