I am working through a book on Kahler manifolds and for one of the proofs it states that the maximum exterior power of TM is m (where M has complex dimension). Could you explain why this is the case rather than the maximum exterior power being 2m.

My guess is that you are wedging even dimensional forms.
 
The torus seems to provide a counterexample, absent further information.
