The 5 Levels of Leadership

The 5 Levels of Leadership By: John C. Maxwell

The 5 Levels of Leadership: Being a great leader is all about having a genuine willingness and a true commitment to lead others to achieve a common vision and goals through positive influence.

• Level 1: Position. This is the lowest level of leadership—the entry level. …
• Level 2 – Permission. Making the shift from Position to Permission brings a person’s first real step into leadership. …
• Level 3: Production. …
• Level 4: People Development. …
• Level 5: The Pinnacle.

There are three basic styles of leadership decision-making: authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire. Authoritarian leaders rule their groups, democratic leaders try to include everyone in the decision-making process, and laissez-faire leaders let the group function without much – if any – interference.
