Not many authors have had the type of impact on leadership thought that John C. Maxwell has had over the past 10 years. This prolific writer has penned a whopping 20 books over the past decade, and has created an industry that is uniquely his own – along with a sizable fan base that come along with a powerful message that seems to speak directly to the souls of his readers. Over 16 million copies of Maxwell’s books have been sold to date.

Additionally, his organizations have trained more than 2 million leaders worldwide. Dr. Maxwell is the founder of EQUIP and INJOY Stewardship Services. Maxwell was named the World's Top Leadership Guru by Leadershipgurus.net and was also one of only 25 authors and artists named to Amazon.com's 10th Anniversary Hall of Fame.

Three of his books, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership , Developing the Leader Within You , and The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader have each sold over a million copies.
