Summary
In this perfectly compact read， #1 New York Times bestselling author John C。 Maxwell explains how true leadership works。
It is not generated by your title。 In fact， being named to a position is the lowest of the five levels every effective leader achieves。 To be more than a boss people are required to follow， you must master the ability to inspire and invest in people。 You need to build a team that produces not only results， but also future leaders。 By combining the advice contained in these pages with skill and dedication， you can reach the pinnacle of leadership-where your influence extends beyond your immediate reach for the benefit of others。
Derived from material previously published in the Wall Street Journal bestseller The 5 Levels of Leadership。

I thought that it was a good book about leadership。 Pretty similar to Developing the Leader Within You in terms of the concepts presented but it lays out his five step process of leadership quite simply and quite well and it's very easy to follow。 I thought that it was a good book about leadership。 Pretty similar to Developing the Leader Within You in terms of the concepts presented but it lays out his five step process of leadership quite simply and quite well and it's very easy to follow。 。。。more

If your vision of success includes starting an organization， owning a company， or putting together a team， you need to become good at leadership。In this book， John Maxwell takes readers through the five levels of leadership， showing that being named to a leadership position isn't all there is to being a good leader。 The book includes practical tips and best practices for each level， as well as anecdotes from experienced leaders。This is one of those books that would have been more useful to m If your vision of success includes starting an organization， owning a company， or putting together a team， you need to become good at leadership。In this book， John Maxwell takes readers through the five levels of leadership， showing that being named to a leadership position isn't all there is to being a good leader。 The book includes practical tips and best practices for each level， as well as anecdotes from experienced leaders。This is one of those books that would have been more useful to me 5 years ago （incidentally when I first received it） than it is now。 Now it feels like retread of everything else I have read。 It is also one of those corporate leadership books that seems to exist just to sell the author's other products， which I find a bit annoying。 It is a short book and a good introduction to leadership principles， so if you haven't read as much about the topic as I have， it is worth a read。 But there are other longer books that dive into things a bit more， so if you have more time I would recommend those， particularly Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action and Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap。。。 and Others Don't。 。。。more

This book took me very deep into the understanding that purpose of leading is to develop people to their unique and max capability， then they would build their leadership status from this point and develop others thru a synergetic approach。

It is a very quick read as well as a think short book。 Although it may be small， it gives a brief explanation of each level and what is expected in those levels。

It’s a short and easy read， and for many of us in the corporate world， this book can be pretty handy to change your perception towards your colleagues and coworkers。 Irrespective of what position you are in your carrier， I can recommend you to read it。 In my carrier， I have met lots of people of different age groups， different technical backgrounds， and different levels of maturity。 I was able to relate my practical scenario with the contents in this book。

This is a good book。 It showed the 5 levels of leadership （many of which I never thought of）。 It will show you how to lead， approach the different types of followers you will lead and how to improve yourself。

The most difficult part in leadership in a young organization as a young person is maintaining a positive attitude consistently。 I must keep in mind to create an environment that is conducive to my own and other people's growth。 Guard attention and focus into the people who can accompany me on this journey。 Prioritize other people's growth and prioritize your own learning。 Perhaps making a time-log to see where my time goes to can help with accomplishing this vision。 I also need to prioritize se The most difficult part in leadership in a young organization as a young person is maintaining a positive attitude consistently。 I must keep in mind to create an environment that is conducive to my own and other people's growth。 Guard attention and focus into the people who can accompany me on this journey。 Prioritize other people's growth and prioritize your own learning。 Perhaps making a time-log to see where my time goes to can help with accomplishing this vision。 I also need to prioritize self-care and sleep。 Matthew Walker's book will be next on my list。 He writes about sleep。 And I may start by watching his TED Talk too。 。。。more

“Good leadership isn’t about advancing yourself。 It’s about advancing your team。 The 5 Levels of Leadership provides clear steps for leadership growth。 Lead people well and help members of your team to become effective leaders， and a successful career path is almost guaranteed。” — John Maxwell

Very quick， good read that outlines the five levels of leadership and the pros and cons of each: position， permission， production， people development and the pinnacle。 This book reminded me that while I may be a level 4 or 5 leader with some people， my level can be very different with all the people I lead。 It also gave me some good thoughts on how I can encourage leaders I lead to move to deeper levels of leadership。

لكونه أحد أهم من كتبوا عن القيادة في عصرنا الحديث، يعتبر فكر ماكسويل مرجعًا مهمًا في الإدارة، وكتاباته دائما تأخذ منحى عمليًا يضع من خلالها توجيهات لنقل الأفكار إلى حيز التنفيذ。وكتابه هذا عن القيادة يعتبر ملخصا لكتاب مهم أكثر عمقًا واتساعًا وتفصيلا، يحمل ذات المستويات الخمسة لتطور القيادة فلسفة وفهمًا وممارسة التي يمر من خلالها القائد。وربما كانت أهم فكرة يعززها الكاتب هي أن المستويات الخمسة تمثل تطورًا في فهم القائد لموقعه وأهمية اكتساب مستوى أفضل من المهارات والمعرفة لينقل مفهوم القائد إلى المس لكونه أحد أهم من كتبوا عن القيادة في عصرنا الحديث، يعتبر فكر ماكسويل مرجعًا مهمًا في الإدارة، وكتاباته دائما تأخذ منحى عمليًا يضع من خلالها توجيهات لنقل الأفكار إلى حيز التنفيذ。وكتابه هذا عن القيادة يعتبر ملخصا لكتاب مهم أكثر عمقًا واتساعًا وتفصيلا، يحمل ذات المستويات الخمسة لتطور القيادة فلسفة وفهمًا وممارسة التي يمر من خلالها القائد。وربما كانت أهم فكرة يعززها الكاتب هي أن المستويات الخمسة تمثل تطورًا في فهم القائد لموقعه وأهمية اكتساب مستوى أفضل من المهارات والمعرفة لينقل مفهوم القائد إلى المستوى التالي، كما أن المستويات ذاتها تمثل نقلات متتالية في فهم الآخر، القيادة الإنسانية، حيث تشير كتابات ماكسويل إلى نمو أهمية الانسان كشرط لنمو مستوى القيادة。لذا فإن صعود أي شخص في سلم القيادة منوط بعزيمته وقراره للخروج من قفص الراحة، والتحرر مما اعتاد عليه، واعتناق التحدي والمجازفة، والسعي للولوج في عالم التغيير دون تردد أو خوف، وفهمه بمتطلبات الوصول إلى المستويات العالية ليكون مؤثرًا وقائدًا ناجحًا، وبهذا الفهم تكون القيادة رحلة حياة، يتسامى من خلالها القائد ويحيي نفوسا حوله ويمنحها حياة وفرصا لتتسامى كقيادات جديدة。حالة الانقياد، وهي روح القيادة، تأتي من خصائص القائد وتتغير مع الصعود في المستويات المختلفة:١- الإنقياد القسري بسبب الموقع الوظيفي للمدير٢- الإنقياد بسبب رغبة التابعين٣- الإنقياد بسبب ما ينجزه القائد للمؤسسة٤- الإنقياد بسبب ما يقدمه القائد للتابعين٥- الإنقياد بسبب ما يمثله القائد من قيم وما يمتلك من كاريزماجعل الكاتب مضامين كتابه تسير وفق خطة يمكن توظيفها كمنهج لإعداد القادة والصعود بالتابعين إلى المستويات المختلفة ضمن خطة مفصلة。 。。。more

This book was recommended to me by a friend who has read multiple works by John C。 Maxwell and had successfully applied his tenets of leadership into the daily operations of our workforce（military operations， specifically aircraft maintenance in the air force）。 This book helps you identify where you stand within the multiple levels of leadership， and offers strategy and techniques to ascend your leadership abilities to a level of influence rather than directive command

Some good points here and there， and it helped me think about how I interact with those I’m responsible for in the workplace。 However， I can’t help but feel that every leadership book I read breaks simple concepts down into complex concepts unnecessarily， and they also remind me of self help books that spout a lot of surface level nonsense that doesn’t really push someone toward real change。 This book was no exception。

It has been awhile since I’ve found a book worth a full five star rating; especially a business book。 Most are filled with superficial anecdotes， tips， and fake motivation that only the brain dead appreciate。 Being a good leader is being a good parent is being a good spouse。 It doesn’t stop at business; these skills carry over to all of your relationships， especially the ones that （should） matter most。 The book describes all types of leaderships; from the dreaded boss that pretends to work while It has been awhile since I’ve found a book worth a full five star rating; especially a business book。 Most are filled with superficial anecdotes， tips， and fake motivation that only the brain dead appreciate。 Being a good leader is being a good parent is being a good spouse。 It doesn’t stop at business; these skills carry over to all of your relationships， especially the ones that （should） matter most。 The book describes all types of leaderships; from the dreaded boss that pretends to work while leaving the rest to the few capable workers and working them to the bone until they leave to be treated better elsewhere， resulting in the company only having average or below average workers。 We have all experienced bosses like that; ruled by their ego， who think they’re great because of a title， but are threatened by anyone who actually shows promise of real skill。 They create a toxic work place。 They ruin the company。 Then it describes the boss everyone wishes they had and few have the courage to become。 The one that leads with understanding， and treats employees as humans not machines， and values their personal goals and desires along with kindling their skills for the workplace。 The boss that saves the day- not through her own brilliance but because she is able to cultivate the brilliance of her team。 The company flourishes and the work place is safe to create creative solutions and problem solve laterally。 Rules aren’t black and white and there’s flexibility for humans to be humans。 The main message is an obvious one that unfortunately many forget: the greatest asset of a company is its people。 The people make the company。 Without people， there’s no company。 Your company isn’t succeeding because of a playbook or a script。 It’s succeeding because of the people leading it; the better they lead， the better the results。 。。。more

Great book on leadership skills and how to build a team of leaders。 Short， simple and full of practical wisdom to be implemented。

Couldn't read it word for word。 Got the jist from the bullet points。 Seems to be more about strategically describing this leadership model than offering applicable tactics for the reader。 Basic and a bit redundant but honestly don't go by my review I didn't read it word for word。 This review is simply a note to aid my memory。 Couldn't read it word for word。 Got the jist from the bullet points。 Seems to be more about strategically describing this leadership model than offering applicable tactics for the reader。 Basic and a bit redundant but honestly don't go by my review I didn't read it word for word。 This review is simply a note to aid my memory。 。。。more

Maxwell have a pretty good writing skills。 His build up explanations in this book is excellent and straight to the point。 The book was structured by five parts。 He explain the five levels of leadership。 It was a nice short read for me even though was not interested in this topic。 I just got this book as a gift。I highly recommend it。

Very good book， clear， and concise。 It takes something perceived as arguably intangible as leadership and analyzes it very clearly and instructional。 I recommend！

This is the first audio John Maxwell book I have listened to and I enjoyed it。 Learned OODLES from this book on the levels of leadership and how to move through the levels for continued growth。 Short listen and probably even a shorter read worth the time for ANYONE in a management position。
