Servant Leadership<\/p>\n
Maxwell\u2019s Five Levels of leadership are position, permission, production, people development, and pinnacle. Level one position is when people follow you because you are in a higher position than them and they must. \u00a0They don\u2019t want to support you, but they do it. Level 2 is permission the premise that people follow you out of their desire. Level two is a relational level, people like you and have established relationships. You need to have strong interpersonal skills. Level 3 is production where things get done; goals are accomplished. Level 4 is the people development is when people follow your lead because of what you have done for them. You invest in your people to get results. \u00a0As you develop your employees, you gain loyalty. They are aware that they are better off since you came along. Pinnacle is the last level of leadership where you have earned the respect of others. If you get to level five respect is not a process it is there you have received it.<\/p>\n

The psychodynamic approach to leadership is the knowledge that comes from evaluating your psyche to know what drives and motivates you.\u00a0 Once you understand fully what your motivation is you will be able to encourage others. Being self-aware in leadership is different because it takes ownership of mistakes and learns from them. It is also aware of who you are. It is a sign of emotional intelligence when you are self-aware. Emotional intelligence is being able to understand and control your own emotions.<\/p>\n
