The 5 Levels of Leadership: Proven Steps to Maximize Your Potential by John C. Maxwell

The 5 Levels of Leadership by John C. Maxwell explains that true leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about influence and growth. Maxwell outlines five stages: Position (people follow because they must), Permission (they follow because they want to), Production (they follow for your results), People Development (they follow because you help them grow), and Pinnacle (they follow because of who you are). With stories, humor, and practical advice, Maxwell shows how anyone can climb these levels to become a respected and impactful leader.
