Topic: The Five Levels of Leadership

John Maxwell defines leadership as influence – nothing more, nothing less.  Leadership is a process, not a position.  Leadership deals with people and their dynamics, which are continually changing.  They are never static.  The challenge of leadership is to create change and facilitate growth.

True leadership isn’t a matter of having a certain job or title.  In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of the five levels every effective leader achieves.  To become more than “the boss” people follow only because they are required to, you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them.  To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and build a team that produces.  You need to help people develop their skills to become leaders in their own right.  And if you have the skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership – where experience will allow you to extend your influence beyond your immediate reach and time for the benefit of others.
