Plant seeds of trust, like fertile soil's embrace
Nurture growth, as a gardener tends to space
Let your words blossom, like petals in bloom
Words that heal and inspire, dispersing gloom
Communication is key, listen and understand
Empower your team, with guidance firsthand
Integrity is paramount, a moral compass true
Make ethical choices, the right path pursue
Unleash the potential, of those under your care
Nurture their growth, for greatness to bear
Lead with purpose, inspire them to soar
Creating a culture, where achievements galore
When your boss can't lead, step up to the plate
Lead with courage, and alleviate the weight
Empower your colleagues, and foster their success
Become the leader, who brings out the best
These principles guide, your leadership quest
Master them well, and rise above the rest
In Maxwell's wisdom, you'll find the way
To lead with impact, each and every day
Welcome to "Rhyme and Read" a collection of book summaries in verse. In this series, we'll explore some of the greatest works of literature through the art of poetry. Each poem summarizes a famous book, condensed into a few stanzas of rhyme and meter.
This time I invite you to embark on a poetic odyssey that encapsulates the profound principles outlined in the book "How to Lead When Your Boss Can't (or Won't)" by John C. Maxwell. Discover the transformative magic of being a beacon of light, guiding others through the darkness of uncertainty.
Please feel free to suggest books that you loved and if I like them I will make a poem about them as well.
Leadership and poetry -- one might think it's a "bipolar" task, yet you managed to capture the essence of it really well. Adding some rhythm to a business book is always a fun act. Well done.
As always, well done.
I absolutely love this idea!
I happened to have read this book and you capture the essence of it perfectly and succinctly in each line. You did it with prefect timing too. Bravo!
If I were to suggest another book, I'd go with Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin.
