[Quotidian #1] 5 Levels of Leadership by John C. Maxwell

Consider the following:

"Leadership is influence; nothing more nothing less."

"Leadership is developed daily not in a day."

"People don't care how much know until they know how much you care."

In the 25-minute video I watched this afternoon, John Maxwell shares on the 5 levels of leadership as follows- observe them carefully and see where you are in relation to the different people in Church or your organization. Starting from the bottom, here we go:

Level #1- Position

The keyword here is RIGHTS.

People follow you because THEY HAVE TO.

Level #2- Permission

The keyword here is RELATIONSHIP.

People follow you because THEY WANT TO.

Level #3- Production

The keyword here is RESULTS.

People follow you because of WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR THE ORGANIZATION.

Level #4- People Development

The keyword here is REPRODUCTION.

People follow you because of WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR THEM.

Level #5- Personhood

The keyword here is RESPECT.

People follow you because of WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU STAND FOR.

Level #3 is the place where MOMENTUM kicks in.

Level #4 is the place where you get LOYALTY.

"Level #1 is given to you by the ORGANIZATION... Levels 2, 3 & 4 must be earned...If you do them well, Level #5 will be given to you by the PEOPLE."

I trust that you have been blessed by this transcription.

Put the lessons you have learned to work and see your influence grow! Remember, you don't have to try to get commitment from your people, just focus on climbing the steps of these five levels and commitment will cleave to you!

You can study the 5 Levels of Leadership in detail by getting a copy of John Maxwell's book entitled 'Developing the Leader within you'- a whole chapter is dedicated to the subject.
