Leadership makes the world go ‘round. From corporations and governments to families and communities, the quality of leaders has a significant impact on any group’s opportunities, direction, and progress. Because of their reach and authority, leaders have the power to enact meaningful changes that can last for generations to come. Not only that, leaders influence how people respond to ideas, helping to advance ways of thinking that can make a positive impact on the world.
Whether you think of yourself as a natural leader, or you’re getting used to a new leadership role, author John C. Maxwell has developed a series of leadership tools to help you be your absolute best. His premise is this: Leading is a verb, not a noun, and leadership is a process, not a position. When you think of a process, you think of something dynamic and always changing — so it is with leadership, which is meant to create change, generate growth, and advance your organization. An effective leader doesn’t accept the status quo; rather, they push their team to- ward progress.
Although most people learn what works in leadership through trial and error, Maxwell’s principle of the Five Levels of Leadership guides you through the challenges at each level, so that you can learn from each before moving to the next stage. These five levels are position, permission, production, people development, and the pinnacle. While each has both advantages and disadvantages, Maxwell’s tools equip you to make the best possible decisions at every level, so you can lead the people around you and make a lasting difference.
