I’m a fan of John C. Maxwell’s writing and we have many of his books in our home. Last night some friend gave us a Christmas gift of a CD set of Maxell’s book The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork. We’re looking forward to listening to the set and we blessed by our friends thoughtfulness.
This morning Shirley and I we were having a late breakfast with Scott, and then Eric came over to the house so we were sitting around the kitchen table just having a family chat about all kinds of things. One of the boys noticed the CD set and then we some how got on to how many Maxwell books have a number in the title and thought that a blog entry and some sort of strange math applied to the numbers might make an interesting and hopefully funny post. Sorry John.

So, what are we to make of this? 17 seems to be a prevalent number, as does 21 and 21 has a nice ring to it. Lots of 101, just basic stuff right? Well, how does it add up?
11+360+21+101+101+12+21+101+101+17+17+12+11+21+25 = 932
Perhaps his next book is “The 932 irrefutable indispensable powerful leadership thinking attitudes that matter for equipping highly successfully people and teams looking for a successful relationship change to win and feel like a million bucks”.
