Maxwell’s 5 levels are about growing your influence, (5 levels of leadership)
I want to talk about as your position changes.
Acknowledge that as we progress there are other skill sets that are vital: resource management, but we’re going to focus on the people side.
Foundational Skills:
Discipline: Show up on time, do what you say you’d do.
Positivity: Pessimists don’t change the world.
Resilience: Because circumstances will be difficult and where you learn to not blame circumstances.
Desire: Will it be to make an impact or to be known.
What is Gained: Internal Standards (Greater than what any boss would put on you)
Excellence: You’re good enough is higher than other’s.
Personal Development: Not willing to settle in, not waiting for others to develop you.
– We don’t have sponsors of education because everyone has access to resources.
– Some people need 1-on-1, often I’d rather have a book. Getting the best of their thinking, not casual.
– A Note: When you’re “just” leading yourself- take every opportunity that comes your way. If you don’t have kids quit talking about balance.
Impact: Fulfilled, but not satisfied.
Energy: Flows from personal health.
