5 levels of leadership >
From "Developing the leader within you"
by John C Maxwell.

Level 1: POSITION
" People follow because they have to"Your influence will not extend beyond the lines of your job description.The longer you stay here , the higher the turnover and lower the morale.

Level 2: Permission
"People follow because they want to"
People will follow you beyond your stated authority.This level allows work to be fun. Staying too long on this level without rising will cause highly motivated people to become restless.

Level 3: Production
"People follow becasue of what you have done for the organization"
This is where success is sensed by most people. They like you and what you are doing. Probelems are fixed with very little effort because of momentum.

Level 4: People Development
"People follow because of what you have done for them"
This is where long range growth occurs. Your commitment to developing leaders will insure ongoing growth to the organization and to the people. Do whatever you can to achieve and stay at this level.

Level 5: Personhood
"People follow because of who you are and what you represent"
This step is reserved for leaders who have spend years growing people and organizations.Few make it t. Those who do it are bigger than life.
