The 5 Levels of Leadership (book)

"The 5 Levels of Leadership" by John Maxwell describes a pathway for developing influence and leadership skills. It starts with Level 1, Position, where people follow because of their job title. Level 2, Permission, is about building relationships and earning trust. Level 3, Production, focuses on achieving results that showcase your capability. Level 4, People Development, involves mentoring others to succeed. Finally, Level 5, Pinnacle, represents a leader with lasting influence and respect who inspires others beyond their immediate circle. Progressing through these levels helps leaders grow both personally and professionally, inspiring others to follow willingly.
