John Maxwell’s Insights

John Maxwell is known all over the world for his insightful descriptions of leadership laws. Millions have benefited from reading his books of self-help, self-discipline and work ethic, which mold leadership and enable us to be leaders in our own domains. His active involvement as a pastor continues, but his writings are couched in a language and style which employ religion-neutral terms and this helps draw millions from the secular world to read his books and benefit from his teaching.

Demands of Globalization on Nations and Individuals

No nation is free from the impact of globalization in the present world. No community can afford to ignore the trends in globalization. No individual can aspire to promote his or her own career without leadership qualities and solid work ethic. It is not just the competition that forces us to acquire true and abiding skills throughout our life. In the very nature of life these days, there is an insistence upon all of us to be conscious about what we need to do ourselves to improve our skills, income and ways of living. More than ever, success in life is now seen to be possible only if the individuals take adequate initiative to achieve it. In some respects, this focus only on individual effort is an unfortunate turn in our world view, but current trends of globalization of economy, services, education and so on seem to move in this direction.
