FIVE LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP
John Maxwell identifies five levels of leadership through which success is accomplished: Level 1: Position – the appointment to a responsibility with a title. The focus is on rights. Level 2: Permission – developing loyalty through interrelationships. The focus is on relationships. Level 3: Production – coming together to accomplish a purpose. The focus is on results. Level 4: People Development – developing other people to do the work. The focus is on reproduction. Level 5: Personhood – influencing through a lifetime of investment in others. The focus is on earned respect. Each level builds upon the other and is a necessary condition for progress to additional levels. To ignore any of the previous levels is to allow collapse of leadership. Adapted from Developing the Leader Within You, by John C. Maxwell, published by Thomas Nelson Publshers, Nashville, TN, pp. 5-13
