The 5 Levels of Leadership

Summary

The book «The 5 Levels of Leadership» by John Maxwell outlines a concept where leadership evolves through five sequential levels. The first level is Position, where leadership is based on title and authority. The second level is Permission, where leadership is built on relationships and trust. The third level is Production, where a leader is evaluated by results and achievements. The fourth level is People Development, where the leader focuses on training and developing their followers. The fifth level is Pinnacle, where the leader reaches the highest degree of influence and respect, inspiring others to reach their potential. Maxwell emphasizes that true leadership requires continuous growth and development, as well as the ability to build strong relationships and inspire others.
