- At the people development level, people follow because of what has been done for them
- At the pinnacle level, people follow because of who you are and what you represent
- "Position is a good place to start in leadership, but it's a terrible place to stay."
- 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
- "People don't care how much you much you know until they know how much you care"
- People get things done and they help the members of their team get things done
- Leaders become great not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others
- Maxwell emphasis leadership is not about titles, position, or about authority; it is the ability to influence others
- A true leader inspires, motivates and guide people towards a shared vision
- While influence is a major part of leadership, not everyone who influences others is a leader
- Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less, but not all influence is leadership
