The more you lead, the greater the number of challenges you face. How do you solve them?Dr. John C. Maxwell has been exploring these issues and helping leaders with them for decades. Where did Maxwell, recently named the #1 leadership and management expert in the world by Inc. magazine, gain such insight into leadership? From the Bible! John asserts that the Bible is the greatest leadership book that has ever been written.In this study, John addresses twenty-one of the most common issues leaders face.  Starting with internal issues such as identity, purpose, pride, and self-leadership, and moving on to others such as criticism, change, diversity, teamwork and recruiting, John shows how leaders in the Bible addressed these issues with boldness and clarity, or, conversely, how they failed to lead. Either way, the lessons are clear. You can improve your leadership for not only your own sake, but also for that of your team and those you serve.In this twenty-one lesson study, John guides you through Scriptures that reveal the challenges leaders face and the solutions available to them. Each lesson includes:THE ISSUE DEFINED: a brief description and introduction to the Issue CASE STUDIES: THREE BIBLICAL STUDIES: including leaders such as Joseph, Moses, Ruth, David, Nehemiah, Peter, Titus, and Jesus—that reveal and illustrate the IssueSTUDY QUESTIONS: reflection and application questions to help you dig into the stories of the men and women in Scripture and learn from themLEADERSHIP INSIGHT AND REFLECTION: questions to help you assess and improve your own leadership skillsTAKING ACTION: practical takeaways and direction to help you incorporate each lesson into your daily lifeGROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: questions to help you learn and process the Bible study material with other like-minded people who want to grow in leadershipStart with the issues where you most need help, complete the entire study as a course in problem solving, or meet with your team, using it as their next training in leadership development. 21 Leadership Issues in the Bible can help you become a better leader in any area of your life as you seek to influence others for Christ.

¿Qué tan alto quiere llegar?  John Maxwell dice que todo depende de su actitud.¿Nariz hacia arriba o nariz hacia abajo ? Al igual que el ángulo de un avión determina su altitud, lo mismo ocurre con el enfoque que damos a la familia, al trabajo, y a la vida en general, y ese enfoque determina la actitud que presentamos al mundo. La forma de resolver un problema es a menudo secundaria a el enfoque que tomamos para enfrentar el problema mismo, nuestra expresión externa es casi tan importante como la lucha interior.En ¿Qué tan alto quiere llegar?, el autor John Maxwell presenta lecciones detalladas sobre la cualidad única e invaluable que se ha convertido en la fuerza principal de una persona dirigida hacia el éxito. Lo que nos pasa, a menudo es diferente de lo que ocurre en nosotros.Llamando a la Biblia un "manual sobre el desempeño de actitud "Maxwell enfatiza que en realidad nunca estamos volando solos. Con una guía de estudio para ayudar a evaluar y construir sobre su propio ángulo de vuelo, ¿Qué tan alto quiere llegar? establece los elementos fundamentales para un vuelo estable y duradero de la vida.How High will You Climb? ¿Qué tan alto quiere llegar? -How High Will You Climb?- John Maxwell says it all depends on your attitude.Nose up or nose down? Just as the angle of an airplane determines its altitude, so does the approach we take—to family, to work, to life in general—determine the attitude we present the world. The way we solve a problem is often secondary to the approach we take in facing the problem, our outward expression every bit as critical as the inward struggle. When the skies above appear stormy, how will you steer that internal plane we call attitude?With ¿Qué tan alto quiere llegar?, author John Maxwell presents detailed lessons on the single invaluable quality that has become a person’s primary force toward success. As the world around us delivers challenges, the attitude we choose affects us individually. And yes, an attitude can be chosen. Attitude is easy in times of joy and progress. But how do you handle the failures sure to interrupt the attainment of goals? What happens to us is often different from what happens in us.Calling the Bible a “handbook on attitude performance,” Maxwell emphasizes we are never actually flying solo. God supports our approach to problem solving and helps steer the attitude adjustments necessary to think correctly in a sometimes negative world. With a study guide to help evaluate and build upon your own flight angle, ¿Qué tan alto quiere llegar? establishes the fundamental elements for a steady, durable flight of life.
