The next part of Maxwell's "Developing the Leader Within You" looked more specifically at what makes a good leader. Maxwell separates leadership into 5 different 'levels,' which are: Position, Permission, Production, People Development, and Personhood. So leadership begins as a position, with a given title for a certain job and it eventually, if developed properly, evolves into who you are as a person. You are known for your leadership abilities and attributes. In my mind, these are the Ghandis, Mother Theresas, Martin Luther Kings, and Billy Grahams. People who really make a difference in the world and use their lives to BE a leader are those who reach that highest level.
As a teacher, my days as a leader are still ahead of me, but I know that so many opportunities will come. I hope that I successfully lead our future generations in the right direction so they can be successful in their own lives.
