The 5 Levels of Leadership Aligns Leadership: q Practices, q Principles, and q Values

§ You Can Move Up a Level But You Never Leave the Previous One Behind § You Are Not on the Same Level with Every Person § People will respond to you based on the level of leadership you’re on with them. And that is subject to change.

§The Higher You Go, The Easier It Is to Lead §The Higher You Go, the More Time and Commitment Is Required to Win a Level §Moving Up Levels Occurs Slowly, But Going Down Can Happen Quickly

§A lot of things have to be right to climb to a higher level, but sometimes it takes only one thing going wrong to cause someone to fall. §The Higher You Go, the Greater the Return

§Moving Farther Up Always Requires Further Growth §Growing as a leader requires a combination of intentional growth and leadership experience.

§Not Climbing The Levels Limits You and Your People §One of the burdens of leadership is that as we go, so go the people we lead. §Reaching our potential sets an environment for others to reach theirs.

§When You Change Positions or Organizations, You Seldom Stay at the Same Level §You Cannot Climb the Levels Alone §If you think you’re leading but no one is following, then you are only taking a walk.

§Leadership is accepting people where they are, then taking them somewhere.

§Effective leaders interact with followers based on: üWhere they are with that specific follower, üWhere the follower perceives the leader to be, and üWhere the followers are in their own leadership development.

Do the exercise

Leadership traditionally begins with Position.

1. A Leadership Position Is Usually Given to People Because They Have Leadership Potential

2. A Leadership Position Means Authority Is Recognized

3. A Leadership Position Is an Invitation to Grow as a Leader

4. A Leadership Position Allows Potential Leaders to Shape and Define Their Leadership

(1) Leadership is action, not position.

one of the most important characteristics of leadership: Leaders are always taking people somewhere. They aren’t static. If there is no journey, there is no leadership.

(2) Leaders Who Rely on Position to Lead Often Devalue People

Often to make themselves look better or to keep people from rising up and threatening them, positional leaders make other people feel small. How? (a) By not having a genuine belief in them.

(b) By assuming people can’t instead of assuming they can. (c ) By assuming people won’t rather than believing they will. (d) By seeing their problems more readily than their potential. (e) By viewing them as liabilities instead of assets.

3. Positional Leaders Feed on Politics They focus on control instead of contribution.

4. Positional Leaders Place Rights over Responsibilities “Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important…. They don’t mean to do harm…. They are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves. ”

5. Positional Leadership Is Often Lonely If you have others alongside you, it’s hard to be that way.

6. Leaders Who Remain Positional Get Branded and Stranded 7. Turnover Is High for Positional Leaders 8. Positional Leaders Receive People’s Least, Not Their Best

when the people who work with you can hardly wait to quit working with you, something is not working!

People don’t give their best to leaders they like least. They give reluctant compliance, not commitment. They may give their hands but certainly not their heads or hearts.

Success demands more than most people are willing to offer, but not more than they are capable of giving. The thing that often makes the difference is good leadership. That is not found on Level 1.

Best Behaviors on Level 1 How to Make the Most of Your Position

1. Stop Relying on Position to Push people

Level 1 leaders think: (a) Top-down—“ I’m over you. ” (b) Separation—“ Don’t let people get close to you. ” (c) Image—“ Fake it till you make it. ” (d) Strength—“ Never let ’em see you sweat. ” (e) Selfishness—“ You’re here to help me. ”

Level 1 leaders think: (f) Power—“ I determine your future. ” (g) Intimidation—“ Do this or else!” (h) Rules—“ The manual says…”

The following captures how Level 2 leaders think: (a) Side by Side—“ Let’s work together. ” (b) Initiation—“ I’ll come to you. ” (c) Inclusion—“ What do you think? ” (d) Cooperation—“ Together we can win. ”

The following captures how Level 2 leaders think: (e) Servanthood—“ I’m here to help you. ” (f) Development—“ I want to add value to you. ” (g) Encouragement—“ I believe you can do this!” (h) Innovation—“ Let’s think outside the box. ”

2. Trade Entitlement for Movement

Forget about your leadership rights. Focus on your responsibility to make a difference in the lives of the people you lead. When you receive a position or title, you haven’t arrived. It’s time to start moving— and taking others along with you.

3. Leave Your Position and Move toward Your People

Greek philosopher Socrates said, “Let him that would move the world, first move himself. ”

The Laws of Leadership at the Position Level

(1) The Law of the Lid: Leadership Ability Determines a Person’s Level of Effectiveness

(2) The Law of Process: Leadership Develops Daily, Not in a Day

(3) The Law of the Navigation: Anyone Can Steer the Ship, But It Takes a Leader to Chart the Course

Beliefs That Help a Leader Move Up to Level 2

1. Titles Are Not Enough A Position is not a worthy destination for any person’s life.

2. People— Not Position— Are a Leader’s Most Valuable Asset

3. A Leader Doesn’t Need to Have All the Answers One of us is not as smart as all of us.

4. A Good Leader Always Includes Others
