To develop your effectiveness and leadership personally & professionally is an on-going process! 

John Maxwell’s book – Developing the Leader Within You

Levels of Leadership:  (Where are you?)

1. Position – hired / in an organizational “role”
2. Permission – lead by focusing on people’s needs and desires — relationships
3. Production – things are happening/getting done
4. People Development – Empower others, multiply leaders
5. Person-hood – people follow because of who you are and what you represent

Obviously, the 5^th level is the highest level of leadership and where a good leader will strive to be.

How do you get people to “follow you because of who you are and what you represent”? It is about authenticity, integrity and character.

Consider:

• Are you being real or fake (guarded, protected, superficial, “best face forward”)?
• Do you have integrity (do what you say)?
• Does your character show up in your day to day? Who would people say you are?
