What is a Leader? "



A leader is someone of influence." - John Maxwell



How do we teach leadership?



By example. The life we live. Be an example to rest and reflect. Seek the kingdom of God first.



There are 5 levels of leadership and/or Discipleship (Good leadership is to become a servant leader) according to John Maxwell



Level 1: Position. This is the lowest level of leadership—the entry level. ...



Level 2 – Permission. Making the shift from Position to Permission brings a person's first real step into leadership. ...



Level 3: Production. ...



Level 4: People Development. ...



Level 5: The Pinnacle.
