DEFINITIONS OF LEADERSHIP
“Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.”
John C. Maxwell
“Leadership is influence, nothing more. And nothing less”
John Maxwell
“Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision that is well communicated, building trust among colleagues, and taking effective action to realize your own leadership potential.”
Warren Benni
“Leadership is accomplishing things that reach beyond solitary abilities by acting — and getting others to act — with a maturity that surpasses limited self-interest."
John Baker, president of READY Thinking, an organizational and leadership development firm.
"Leadership is getting people to want to follow. That requires engaging them passionately, from the heart, and requires persuading people to change. Management is tactical; leadership is strategic."
Tom Kennedy, a certified management consultant and principal of The Kennedy Group.

Linda Galindo, consultant, speaker, educator and author of "The 85% Solution
5 LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP according to JOHN C. MAXWELL

They rely on rules, regulations, policies, and organization charts to control their people. Their people will only follow them within the stated boundaries of their authority.
Position is the only level that does not require ability and effort to achieve. Anyone can be appointed to a position. This means that position is a fine starting point, but every leader should aspire to grow beyond Level 1.
Level 2 –
