The 5 Levels of Leadership

Proven Steps to Maximize Your Potential
By John C. Maxwell (Audiobook, 2013)
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 to 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.

The 5 Levels of Leadership are:
1. Position - People follow because they have to.
2. Permission - People follow because they want to.
3. Production - People follow because of what you have done for the organization.
4. People Development - People follow because of what you have done for them personally.
5. Pinnacle - People follow because of who you are and what you represent.

Through humor, in-depth insight, and examples, internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell describes each of these stages of leadership. He shows you how to master each level and rise up to the next to become a more influential, respected, and successful leader.

  • John Maxwell on the 5 Levels of Leadership

  • "John has been a mentor and teacher for me for many years and what I love most about him is that he has pushed and helped me personally go through the 5 Levels of Leadership!" (Kevin Turner, COO, Microsoft).

  • "The leader's greatest calling is building leadership in the coming generation, and John Maxwell's The Five Levels of Leadership offers the roadmap for taking the journey to that highest level." (Michael Useem, author of The Leadership Moment and The Go Point).

  • "The 5 Levels Of Leadership is John Maxwell's ultimate contribution to the topic.  It's clear, helpful, inspiring and guaranteed to give any reader the ability to fulfill what Napoleon defined as the role of the leader: 'Define reality, then give hope.'" (Tim Sanders, former Chief Solutions Officer at Yahoo! and author of Today We Are Rich).

  • "I first became acquainted with John Maxwell's material when I went back into coaching for the St. Louis Rams after a 14 year hiatus from NFL coaching.  I was looking for resources to help me personally grow and develop when a close friend recommended John's materials to me.  His resources reenergized me and confirmed my own beliefs that had been dormant.  I continued to use John's resources when I went on to be the coach for the KC Chiefs.  I received John's monthly audio lessons and read his books.  What a wealth of leadership and personal growth wisdom!  I believe his Five Levels of Leadership is his best work yet. I know you'll love it." (Dick Vermeil, Former NFL Head Football Coach).

  • "When it comes to leadership, inspiration is just as important - if not more so - than information. John Maxwell offers both. The Five Levels of Leadership will not only tell you how to climb higher, it will give you the motivation you need to reach the top." (Dan T. Cathy, President & Chief Operating Officer, Chick-fil-A, Inc.).
