📘 The 5 Levels of Leadership [sound recording]

John C. Maxwell, New York Times best-selling author, presents his most important work to date -- on his most requested speaking topic, which has been taught to Fortune 100 companies and leaders in countries around the world. 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. - Container.
