Why Many People Don't Develop as Leaders
- Assumption 1: Assuming one can lead because they are a natural-born leader
- Leadership is a skill developed through practice, self-awareness, and continuous learning
- Everyone has the potential to become a leader, even if some are born with more natural gifts
- Assumption 2: Thinking a title and seniority automatically makes one a leader
- Titles and positions grant authority, but do not guarantee effective leadership.
- True leadership comes from the ability to influence others, not just authority based on a position
- Without connecting with and inspiring people, a title is just a title.
- Assumption 3: Assuming work experience will automatically make one a leader
- Leadership is like maturity in that it does not automatically come with age
- Tenure does not create leadership ability and more likely engenders entitlement than leadership ability
- Assumption 4: Waiting to get get a position to start developing as a leader
- Leadership development doesn't require a formal title
- It is about building influence and understanding how one works with others to achieve goals.

-
- Everyone Influences Someone
- Influence is not reserved for those in top positions
- It extends to everyone with the ability to affect others' thoughts, behaviors, and decisions.
-
- People Don't Always Know Who or How Much They Influence
- One's actions, words, or attitude may influence others even if they don't express it.
- The impact of leadership may only be visible over time or may manifest in subtle ways.
-
- The Best Investment In Tomorrow is to Develop Your Influence Today
- The more one invests in building their leadership skills and expanding their influence, the more effective they will be when leadership opportunities arise.
The 5 Levels of Leadership
- Level 1: Position
- Influence is based on rights
- People follow because they have to
- Position is a good place to start, but a terrible place to stay
- Three Characteristics of Positional Leaders:
- Positional Leaders Look for Security Based on Title More Than Talent
- Positional Leaders Rely on Their Leader's Influence Instead of Their Own
- Positional Leaders Can't Get People to Follow Them Beyond Their Defined Authority
- Level 2: Permission
- Influence is based on relationships
- People follow because they want to
- People don't care how much one knows until they know how much one cares
- Level 3: Production
- Influence based on results
- People will follow because of what one has done for the organization.
- People get things done and help team members get things done
- Level 4: People Development
- Influence based on reproduction
- People follow because of what one has done for them
- Leaders become great because of their ability to empower others, not their power
- Level 5: Pinnacle
- Influence is based on respect
- People follow because of who one is and what one represents
- Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less
- Maxwell emphasizes leadership is not about titles, positions, or authority, it is about the ability to influence.
- A true leader inspires, motivates, and guides people toward a shared vision
- While influence is a major part of leadership, not everyone who influences is a leader.
