Everyone Communicates, Few Connect:What the Most Effective People Do Differently

As countless sociologists have made clear over the past half-century, we are all communicating something all the time, whether we realize we’re doing it or not. To become a genuinely effective leader, however, you must learn how to connect with other people in everyday situations.  In John C. Maxwell’s bestselling book Everyone Communicates, Few Connect, five key principles and five key practices are used to explain how to achieve this sort of “zeroed-in connection” to people’s lives.

Maxwell makes clear that most of the highest achievers know these principles and practices by heart and that using them is a big part of their success.  At some point, you too need to learn these concepts (such as having integrity, always working to find common ground with others, and saying everything in simple terms) and make them your own.

As Maxwell points out, “Even if connecting with others isn’t something you’re good at today, you can learn how to do it and become better tomorrow.” That is what “Great Ideas from Everyone Communicates, Few Connect” is for.
