5. The 5 Levels of Leadership: Proven Steps to Maximize Your Potential by
John C. Maxwell
I love this book. The 5 Levels of Leadership has helped me as much or more as any of John Maxwell’s books. The 5 Levels (Position, Permission, Production, People Development, and The Pinnacle) are the foundations you must build on, sequentially, if you want to go higher in your leadership abilities. I had just started reading this book when I was transferred to another position in my organization. This book helped me figure out what I needed to do to become an effective leader in my new position.
