The 5 Levels of Leadership: Your Path to Legacy.

Updated: Aug 28



Hey champions! Whether you're in direct selling or running your own business, today's message will transform how you lead. We're diving into John Maxwell's 5 Levels of Leadership - principles that have shaped countless success stories worldwide.


These insights work whether you're building a direct selling organization or leading any entrepreneurial venture. Let's dive in!


LEVEL 1 - POSITION.


Level 1 is Position. Meet Alex, who leads because of his title. He could be:

- An upline in direct selling.

- A CEO in his startup.

- A manager in his company.


But his team only follows because they have to. They need his approval for everything, and meetings happen only because he says so.


Remember: Position is just the starting point, not the destination.


LEVEL 2 - PERMISSION.


At Level 2 - Permission, we see Adam's leadership style:

- He knows every team member's dreams.

- Creates a family-like atmosphere.

- Team members join activities because they want to.

- Real relationships form beyond business.


His team says, 'We follow Adam because he genuinely cares.'"


LEVEL 3 - PRODUCTION.


Level 3 is Production. Sarah exemplifies this:

- Top performer company-wide.

- Created duplicatable systems.

- Proven prospect follow-up methods.

- Consistent team growth.


Her results speak for themselves. Team members say, 'I follow Sarah's system because it works!'


LEVEL 4 - PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT.


Brian represents Level 4 - People Development:

- Focuses on creating leaders.

- Team runs without his presence.

- Multiple successful presenters.

- His downlines outperform him.


His legacy? 'Brian didn't just build a team; he built leaders.'


LEVEL 5 - PINNACLE


Wafaa embodies Level 5 - Pinnacle Leadership:

- Develop six-figure earners.

- Industry-wide influence.

- Creates company-wide systems.

- Mentors across organizations.


People follow her for who she is, not just what she's achieved."


Remember these truths:

- You can't skip levels.

- Each level builds on the previous.

- Your leadership level caps your growth.

- These principles work in any business.


Here's your action step: Identify your current level and plan ONE specific action to reach the next level.


Whether you're building a direct selling empire or growing any business, these principles will transform your leadership journey.
