True leadership isn''t a matter of having a certain job or
title. In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of
the five levels every effective leader achieves. To become more
than "the boss" people follow only because they are required to,
you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire
them. To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and
build a team that produces. You need to help people to develop
their skills to become leaders in their own right. And if you have
the skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of
leadership-where experience will allow you to extend your influence
beyond your immediate reach and time for the benefit of
others.
The 5 Levels of Leadership are:
1. Position - People follow because they have to.
2. Permission - People follow because they want to.
3. Production - People follow because of what you have done for
the organization.
4. People Development - People follow because of what you have
done for them personally.
5. Pinnacle - People follow because of who you are and what you
represent.
Through humor, in-depth insight, and examples, internationally
recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell describes each of
these stages of leadership. He shows you how to master each level
and rise up to the next to become a more influential, respected,
and successful leader.
