Developing the Leader Within You by John C. Maxwell

 

There are Five Levels of Leadership:

  • Level 1: Position – People follow because they have to
  • Level 2: Permission – People follow because they want to
  • Level 3: Production – People follow because of what you have done for the organization
  • Level 4: People Development – People follow because of what you have done for them
  • Level 5: Personhood – People follow because of who you are and what you represent

 

As you grow on each succeeding level with other people, they will allow and even assist you in making necessary changes, recognizing you as a leader who inspires others to do their best.

 

If you have a desire – or maybe a calling – for leadership, John Maxwell will help you develop the vision, value, influence and motivation required of successful leaders. Let Developing the Leader Within You give you a fresh vision of the leader you can be now and in the future.
