Bringing Out the Best in People: How to Enjoy Helping Others Excel

"One of the best books that I've read! I keep Alan's "12 Rules for Bringing Out the Best in People" with me everyday. As America's Communication Coach, a motion picture director, a national speaker-author, a college instructor, and president of my company, I lead many people; and this book helps me fulfill big dreams."

This book is a classic for leaders in all areas. McGinnis, who background is psychotherapy, lists twelve principles for bringing out the best in other people. He uses real-life examples of achievers who have utilized these principles to be successful and, importantly, help others succeed. There are thousands of leadership books on the market. I read hundreds. Read this one first.

This book is very well written. Alan provides a list of guidelines for how to motivate people to be their best and then gives great examples from people's lives. You'll need to read it a few times to get all the pearls of wisdom. The great thing is you can start applying what you learn immediately since he explains the basic principle first and punctuates it with examples thereafter. I lead people and am lead and I'm giving the book as presents for XMAS to those above and below me !!
