Debunking myths and shedding light on the challenges, John Maxwell offers specific principles for Leading Down, Leading Up, and Leading Across. 360-Degree Leaders can lead effectively, regardless of their position in an organization. By applying Maxwell's principles, you will expand your influence and ultimately be a more valuable team member.

Rating: - 360 Degree Leader Developing Your Influence from Anywhere in the Organization
I've read many books on leadership, but this is definitely the best one for those emerging leaders leading from the middle of organizations. It's insightful and full on great advise as to how to handle almost every situation the middle leader encounters.
The self-assessment and companion workbook are invaluable tools for targeting specific areas which need further development or strengthening existing talents.

I highly recommend this product to anybody in a leadership role. Especially middle managers. This book touches on so many great points.

Rating: - Good book on the "how to's" of being a leader
This is a very good book on the `how to's' of being a leader within an organization. Not necessarily a 'top dog' leadership book, its more of a insightful look at how to get things accomplished in an organization and overcome such speed bumps as 'impossible bosses', dealing with difficult people, taking on tough jobs, etc. The book stresses teamwork and helping out people below, above and next to you on the organizational chart. A very practical book on leadership.
