Ask the successful CEOs of major corporations, entrepreneurs, top salespeople, and pastors what characteristic is most needed for success in leadership positions, and they'll tell you-it's the ability to work with people.
Some people are born with great relationship skills, but those who are not can learn to improve them. In Winning with People Maxwell has translated decades of experience into 25 People Principles that anyone can learn.
Maxwell has divided the People Principles in this book according to the questions we must ask ourselves if we want to win with people:
Readiness: Are we prepared for relationships? Connection: Are we willing to focus on others? Trust: Can we build mutual trust? Investment: Are we willing to invest in others? Synergy: Can we create a win-win relationship?Each section contains guiding People Principles. Some are intuitive, such as The Lens Principle: Who We Are Determines How We See Others. Others may go against your instincts, such as The Confrontation Principle: Caring for People Should Precede Confronting People. All of them are 100 percent practical!
Winning with People Reviews
-
Great book if you are a married American male with kids.
“A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend; a successful woman is one who can find such a man.” This quote comes from the section of the book in which the author demonstrates that men and women are different.
My manager recommended this book to me so I diligently read it. Examples are either based on American baseball facts, American history, husband / father situations. Through the book, there is only a handful of examples portraying women: female students in need of a man to be their better self, a famous actress living a life of addiction and sadness. The mention of the female Filipino president is about how she appreciates the author and his mentorship. The only portrayed female who is successful on her own and doesn’t serve a purpose in connection with the author is a high school teacher. Probably the only roles female are authorized to succeed in on their own in our society?
Surely the topics covered are interesting but I wished my male manager had heard of a more relatable source of inspiration for me. -
I like John Maxwell, but if your going to read a book on winning people, read dale Carnegies How To Win Friends And Influence People. If you already read the book and are tempted to read Maxwells book next... don't. Instead reread Dale Carnegie.

Former pastor turned leadership guru, John C. Maxwell is known for his insight and experience when it comes to the business industry. What I find helpful is Maxwell’s teachings are applicable to other environments such as church, small groups, and relationships. His 2004 release Winning With People specifically deals with relationships. Quite frequently the mindset of the business world is “What can I do to get ahead?” or “How can I succeed?” Maxwell challenges the reader to think outside of the box and change his or her thoughts to “How can I help others succeed?” (Read my entire review at:

I wasn't surprised when the author revealed that he is a devout Christian - the takeaway from this short book is that if you will win with people if you are a good, honest, and generous person. That's a better message than the list of psychological tricks I anticipated, but I can't say I really learned anything new. The non-stop anecdotes felt a bit formulaic, and some didn't make sense to me: A man slipped another (less fortunate) dad $20 to help buy circus tickets. So we should give others money in order to "Win" with them and make them like us? Not sure.
-
There was a lot of good wisdom in this book. There were also many examples and memorable illustrations. I find John Maxwell's books easy to remember. He puts his lessons in easy to process ways. Some people don't like that, but I think it's helpful.

* الشمعة لا تخسر عندما تضيء شمعة أخرى
( توماس جيفرسون )
.من اجمل الحكم التى استعان بها ماكسويل فى كتابه -
يتساءل العديد من البشر عن طريق الفوز مع الناس والتعامل معهم، وهل هي مهارة مكتسبة أم فطرة يمتاز بها بعض الأشخاص دونًا عن غيرهم، ولذا قام المؤلف في كتابه
الفوز مع الناس بشرح مبادئ الفوز مع الناس، وكيف تجعل أي موقف ينقلب لصالحك، معتمدًا على عدة خطوات لمساعدة الجميع، وهذه الخطوات هي:
1- الاستعداد لبناء العلاقات، والتركيز على الآخرين.
2- بناء الثقة المتبادلة.
3- الاستثمار في الآخرين.
ومن ثمَّ ستنال ما ترغب به، وهو الفوز مع الناس.
كتاب سهل بسيط مفيد جدًا خاصة للانطوائيين، ومن يعانون من مشاكل في التعامل مع الآخرين، فلقد خلقنا على الكوكب لنعيش ونندمج سويًا، ومن واجبنا القراءة والتعرف على كيفية تحقيق ذلك بنجاح، وامتاز الكتاب بسهولة أسلوبه واحتوائه على الكثير من الامثلة التي تخدم غرض الكتاب. -
The sage wisdom of J Max is found in every page of this book, and every person from all walks of life will benefit from the plethora of relational truths contained in these pages. I will be refencing and rereading this book for the rest of my life. This would be a great resource for every position of leadership from supervisor to CEO to implement both for him or her self both personally or corporately.
-
Muy buen libro, aún que a mi parecer es muy parecido al libro de Dale Carnegie, tiene mucho conceptos de el, pero refuerza mucho una vez leído el libro de Dale, creo que es muy bueno y refuerza más tu conocimiento de como influir en las personas y como ganartelas.

Very gentle approach to friendly, kind ways to interact with others. Discusses 5 central concerns: readiness, connection, trust, investment and synergy. Lots of examples and questions bring points home.
Readiness - who we are determines how we see others, know yourself first, hurting people hurt people, never hammer someone, we can lift up or take people down
Connection - entire world, except 1, is composed of others; put ourselves in our place not others; each person has potential to teach us something; people are interested in others who are interested in them; believing the best of others usually brings out the best of people; caring precedes confronting others
Trust - foundation of any relationship; never let situation mean more than relationship; when bob has a problem with everyone, bob is usually the problem; being at ease with self helps other be at ease with us; when preparing for battle, dig a hole big enough for a friend
Investment - all relationships need cultivation; find 1% we agree on and focus 100% on it; journey with others is slower than journey alone; celebrate success of friends; take higher road when interacting with others
Synergy - when we help others, we help ourselves; people work well with others they like; working together increases odds of winning together; joy of being together as bottomline -
I've read other books by Maxwell. There was a man in my church who suggested I read a book by John Maxwell. I trusted his opinion so I did. Then I decide to read another. I read another and when this 'unofficial spiritual mentor' of mine asked me what I thought, I was afraid to say anything. Turns out he even believed "if you've read one John Maxwell book, you've pretty much read them all." Epigraphs in the little book on teamwork include quotes by himself. (that was a turn-off) Other books, I can't even remember the titles unless I look them up by author name.
I know he's popular and is considered a leadership guru. He does offer a great deal of sound advice from years of experience as a pastor and leader. He mentions having been mentored himself. I believe he is a man integrity. He's even funny at times. However, I won't spend more time reading another leadership book by him. -
Poor.
I couldn’t finish it. I thought I had bought a book from Maxwell, not a compilation of quotes from other authors. -
Great book! I learned quite a deal from it. He touches on some important and useful life lessons in terms of relationships and daily interactions. Read it if you don't easily take to people (generally speaking) or often find yourself in negative dysfunctional relationships. And read it even if neither one of those applies.
-
I read this book with a group of people and we had a good time discussing the various chapters and pinpointing where we were strong and where we were weak. Maxwell always uses great analogies and stories and his books are always filled with good lessons you can use later. This book is no exception.
-
You just can't go wrong with any of John Maxwell's books. If you deal directly with people, then this book is for you. This book helps you identify ways to strengthen your relationships with people and helps you grow your interpersonal skills. A must for all sales people.
-
The author outlines several principles that are important if one wishes to establish and maintain positive relationships with people whether in the workplace or life. While may appear to be common sense, I have found in my own experience just how much some people lack self-awareness and empathy towards others. This book could be quite helpful for those that need help in the "people department".
Key Takeaways
-Self-awareness is important - the way people see others is a reflection of themselves.
-Each person we meet has the potential to teach us something.
-You cannot have growth without change.
-Being at ease with yourself makes others feel at ease with you.
-Caring for people should precede confronting people - validate people's feelings.
-When connection is difficult, you must find one thing that you two have in common or agree upon.
-In great relationships, the joy of being together is enough. -
Primera vez que escucho un audio libro tan largo. Me di cuenta que para este tipo de textos, es una buena manera de aprovechar el tiempo.
Este libro en cuestión ofrece buenos aspectos a considerar en nuestra relación con lxs demás, apuntando a enriquecer los vínculos tanto afectivos como laborales y trabajar en nuestros aspectos personales. Está dividido en partes claramente diferenciadas, bien separadas una de otra, para que unx pueda volver a un punto específico del audio si así lo desea.
No es que sea muy original; la mayoría de los aspectos que desarrolla son los mismos que están abordados en las obras de este género. Pero nunca está de más volver a reflexionar sobre ellos puesto que a menudo se nos olvidan o los damos por hecho. Entonces es útil este libro para ayudar a replantearse la forma en que unx se presenta ante el resto de la gente, cómo actúa y cuáles son los mejores caminos para establecer relaciones productivas y sanas. -
Entretenido, lleno de historias y ejemplos históricos y personales, es una obra que si lees con detenimiento y con frecuencia transformará tus relaciones.
Todos estamos llamados a tener relaciones, pues somos seres sociales, somos seres que necesitamos de otros, y sin importar si somos más introvertidos (como yo por ejemplo), o sumamente extrovertidos, debemos aprender como ganar en las relaciones.
Pero ganar no es ganar para mí, es ganar para el otro, es ganar para generar impacto, es ganar para disfrutar, es ganar para ir al siguiente nivel. Por eso este libro es tan importante, pues te permite ver las relaciones con la motivación adecuada.
Desde el primer principio hasta el último, este libro revoluciona tu mente de una forma especial. Obra extraordinaria, así de sencillo.

Typical Maxwell :) All advice is good and sound, but not much new to take away. I did like a new phrase though, that I haven’t heard others using: “Emotional fitness”. FITNESS! It is never enough to reach a high emotional/mental level, but you have to keep on practicing it, exercising. If not, You will slide back and get emotionally/mentally “Fat” again. Let’s keep ourselves fit, people! :) Oh, and another thing - adding to others peoples lives can not be done by accident. We can damage relationships by accident easily, but adding is deliberate practice with the specific aim. You can not build a nice sand-castle by accident. But you sure can destroy one by accident. So if You don’t know if you add to other peoples lives, then you probably aren’t doing it! It’s a deliberate effort. Get at it!

الكتاب يساعد على توضيح المباديء الهامة للتعامل مع الآخرين. المؤلف استخدم طريقة "الحكاية" حيث يحكي طوال الكتاب أحداث و مواقف حدثت له و للآخرين ليوضح كل مبدأ. و فيما يتعلق بكتب التنمية البشرية لا أفضل تلك الطريقة (و خاصة في كتاب ٣٠٠ صفحة) و أفضل الكتب القائمة على نتائج ابحاث و تدريبات تطبيقية. لا أنكر أن الكتاب أفادني و لكنه يحتاج التعامل بسياسة النّفس الطويل
مقتطفات من الكتاب
فن الحوار الحقيقي ليس فقط أن تقول الشيء المناسب في المكان المناسب، و لكن أيضاً ألا تقول الشيء الغير مناسب في اللحظة التي تشعر فيها بإغراء قوله
إن ما يراه الناس يتأثر بشخصياتهم، فإذا تواجد بعض الناس في غرفة واحدة و كانوا ينظرون لنفس الاشياء، فإنهم سيرونها بطريقة مختلفة تماماً. فكل واحد منا له ميوله الخاصة، و تلك الميول تصبغ رؤيتنا لكل شيء
عندما تتفاعل مع الآخرين تذكر هذا: في أي وقت تكون فيه استجابة الشخص أكبر من القضية التى يتم تناولها، فدائماً ما ستكون تلك الاستجابة مرتبطة بسبب آخر
إن أي شخص يتزوج متوقعاً الحفاظ على نفس مستوى الحرية الذي كان يتمتع به و هو أعزب، سيعرض زواجه للخطر حتماً
إن الناس غالباً ما يستجيبون لطريقتنا و أسلوبنا أكثر من كلماتنا، في المرة المقبلة التي يوجه لك احدهم الحديث بغضب، استجب برفق و لين -
كتاب ملهم ومفيد بشكل استثنائي!

A great book with valuable insight on how to interact with people. Not only does it teach you valuable tricks to appear friendlier, but the author notes many times that being a genuinely nice person who cares about others goes a long way. He gives practical, implementable methods to be better. The book also helps you understand the motivations of others, and gives you the freedom not to take everything personally.

أهم نقط لفتت إنتباهى فى الكتاب ده
الصبر .. وإختلاف منظرونا للموقف والعلاقة
يعنى اى حاجة مهمة فى حياتنا محتاجة صبر عشان تكمل وكذلك العلاقات لازم نصبر على ups & downs عشان نوصل لعلاقة ناجحة
كمان لو حصل حاجة تضايق بين شخصين لازم النظرة للموقف متكونش اد النظرة للعلاقة القايمة لأن العلاقة دايما هى اللى لازم تكسب
الموقف يتشاف على اده وياخد حجمه الطبيعى ومنكبرش المواضيع
مهم برضو نحافظ على ثباتنا الانفعالى فى علاقاتنا مع اللى حوالينا -
Common sense stuff in analogies that resonate
Some Takeaways / nuggets
Being at ease with yourself allows others to be at ease with you.
Every person in a company confronted with a person sharing a problem (lit match) has two buckets, water and petrol. Be the change you want to see.
Find the 1% in common and give it 100%
People are interested in people who are interested in them. -
(Read in Mandarin) the author includes a clear list of principles and give plenty of examples. Overall, the book teaches you on how to know and trust yourself, and then build your relationships. And remember, people are the most important (and more important than a lot of matters most of the time.)
-
It's a good book with a lot of valuable information and perspective. However, the organization of the book into 5 questios is okay. It did confuse me a bit due to the similarities of chapters/ principles from different questions. I was expecting a more straightforward approch. Still a good book though.

Relationships...we have them in every area of life; both personally and professionally. Who doesn't want to win with people? I have never met a better connector with people than John, so I can't think of a better person to write about how it's done. If YOU want to win with people, this book is your how to guide. :) Read it again and again and again! :)
