Publisher's Summary

Use this helpful book to learn about the leadership tools to fuel success, grow your team, and become the visionary you were meant to be.

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 five 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.

At 12th chapter and still wondering what's point?

lots of content, some interesting, but most will make you wonder what is the point

good but long

good book. just very lengthy. recommend over several settings. Otherwise the book becomes boring

Insightful and thought provoking

I really like the framework which the book is centered around, and it is teaching me a lot of things that were unknown to me before. My main constructive feedback is that it is incredibly male-oriented. Every sentence is presented with a man being in the leadership role, which is something I believe should be updated.
