by John C. Maxwell
Maxwell distills more than three decades of leadership experience into twenty-one foundational laws, each supported by real-world stories from business, politics, sports, and the military. The 25th anniversary edition updates the original framework with fresh examples and insights, including lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic era.
In this collection, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You references 4 other books.
It draws on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, How to Win Friends and Influence People and Emotional Intelligence.

The books Maxwell references and why each one mattered to the argument.
Maxwell's Law of Influence and Law of Priorities directly parallel Covey's habits of proactivity and putting first things first; both authors build comprehensive principle-centreed leadership frameworks
Maxwell's Law of Connection builds on Carnegie's foundational principles of building relationships and influencing people; both emphasize that leadership begins with genuine human connection
Maxwell's Law of Intuition and Law of Magnetism align with Goleman's Emotional Intelligence research on how self-awareness and social skill determine leadership effectiveness
Maxwell's Law of the Big Picture and Law of Legacy connect to Senge's shared vision discipline in The Fifth Discipline; both argue leaders must create collective purpose that outlasts them
