Production - People follow because of what you have done for the organization. 4. People Development - People follow because of what you have done for them personally. 5. Pinnacle - People follow because of who you are and what you represent. Through humor, in-depth insight, and examples, internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell describes each of these stages of leadership.

I think everyone should read the first pages up to pg81 (end of Level 1) cuz everyone at some part of their life is a L1 leader…home, friend, work. All have some position over others and need to be good at it. It’s a great book on leadership!
