Smart leaders believe only half of what they hear. Discerning leaders know which half to believe.

John C. Maxwell

John C. Maxwell (* 1947) ist ein US-amerikanischer Bestsellerautor, Vortragsredner und ehemaliger Pastor, der durch weltweite Schulungsprogramme für Führungskräfte bekannt wurde. Er steht für praxisnahe Konzepte werteorientierter Leiterschaft und persönlicher Charakterbildung, die er in zahlreichen millionenfach verkauften Büchern entfaltet hat. Während Bibelleser seine prägnanten Impulse zu Verantwortung und Einfluss schätzen, bemängeln theologische Kritiker eine teils pragmatische Auslegung biblischer Texte zugunsten moderner Managementprinzipien.
