John Maxwell firmly points to attitude as the key in making or breaking a leader. Leadership has less to do with position than it does with disposition, because it will influence the way the followers think and feel. Great leaders understand that the right attitude will set the right atmosphere, which enables the right responses from others. Maxwell addresses what shapes a person's attitude and whether or not attitude can be changed. He addresses the common feeling of failure and shows how to overcome obstacles. Understanding success as a journey rather than a destination, he explains, is the key to good leadership. He concludes Attitude 101 with practical ways readers can take their attitude to the next level.
As stated in the preface to this concise primer, any weekday edition of The New York Times contains more information than the average person living in 17th-century England was exposed to in a lifetime. In acknowledgement of the modern world's information glut, leadership expert John C. Maxwell has produced Attitude 101, a 99-page companion volume to one of his previous bestsellers, Leadership 101. In this new book, Maxwell examines the importance of attitude in determining a leader's success or failure, the forces that shape a person's attitude, and the seven choices necessary if one is to change his or her attitude. Fans of Maxwell's earlier books will enjoy his pithy advice, and will no doubt look forward to the third and fourth volumes in this series (Relationships 101, Equipping 101), both available in 2004. --David Bombeck

You got to have your head straight if you want to lead!!!!!!!!:

This is one of a series of easy to read leadership books by John Maxwell. If your attitutde is not right despite all of your other efforts you will never be an effective leader, in fact you may not be able to lead at all.
Just like his Ethics 101, Attitude 101 is about one of the core values of leadership. I highly recommend this book and everyone in Maxwell's 101 leadership series. All of the books in that series should be part of one's leadership library.

Attitude, good or bad, is like DNA.. It doesn't change with time or by reading books.:

This book says that good attitude is better than negative attitude in the workplace, to which i agree.. Don't we all? without needing to read the book?

Authority On Leadership Sees Attitude As Key:

The author, leadership authority John Maxwell, says "Attitude is always a 'player' on your team....Your attitude and potential go hand in hand....A lot goes into an attitude--but a lot more comes out of it!....The key to having a good attitude is the willingness to change....The greatest battle you wage against failure occurs on the inside, not the outside....Every successful person is someone who failed, yet never regarded himself as a failure....Attitude determines how far you can go on the success... more info

Attitude adjustment:

"Your attitude and your potential go hand in hand." -From the book.
This is a great book, packed with good advice! First of all, I liked the size of this. It's a small book of 97 pages. The publishers preface says that this is a companion book to "Leadership 101, Relationships 101, and Equipping 101, and is a short course on attitude."
Subtitled to leaders and what they need to know, but it's for all of us. As always, to change the world, we need to begin at home with ourselves -This is a good way... more info
