“LEADERSHIP IS NOT A NOUN, IT’S A VERB…
IT’S ACTION, IT’S
MOVEMENT”
LEVEL NO. : THE POSITION LEVEL
RIGHTS
PEOPLE FOLLOW YOU
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO !!
PEOPLE DON’T “LIKE” TO HAVE TO FOLLOW
PEOPLE….
BECAUSE THEY “HAVE” TO FOLLOW PEOPLE!!
DOES POSITION MAKE ONE A
LEADER??
NOOO !!
IT’S A
MISCONCEP
TION
UPSIDE OF LEVEL 1 DOWNSIDE OF LEVEL 1
People begin to
DEFINE AND SHAPE
themselves as a
LEADER
People forcefully following you will give
you the LEAST amount of
their ENERGY, EFFORT & MIND
LEVEL NO. : THE PERMISSION LEVEL
RELATIONSHIPS
PEOPLE NOW BEGIN TO FOLLOW YOU BECAUSE THEY WANT TO !!!
Because now….You have the ability to CONNECT with people
NOW YOU ARE A SUPERVISOR THAT PEOPLE LIKE..THAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT!!
Relationships with
people are the
foundation of
leadership
Leadership is INFLUENCE, and you
cannot influence somebody that you
ANTAGONIZE !!
3 things which leaders do extremely well to be a RELATIONAL LEADER!!
THEY LISTEN WELL
They take all their leadership cues by
walking slowly through the CROWD
and listening
They Constantly OBSERVE where their People are & what are they DOING
THEY ARE LEARNING !!
In this 3-step Process, Leaders develop an Attitude of SERVANTHOOD
They now know how to serve they do serve they love to serve
LEVEL NO. : THE PRODUCTION LEVEL
RESULTS
PEOPLE NOW BECOME EFFECTIVE
AS A LEADER BECAUSE THEY
PRODUCE!!This is the PROBLEM SOLVING
level of Leadership
Leaders begin to gain CREDIBILTY at this level
They model things for their people which they
want to see because now they PRODUCE!
What’s Your Credibility Score?????
What’s the LAW OF MAGNETISM??
WE ATTRACT WHO WE ARE, NOT WHO WE WANT!!
Who you are
as a leader is
who you
attract on
your team
MANAGERS solve problems
while LEADERS create
MOMENTUMwhich solves 80% of the
problems
LEVEL NO. : THE PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT LEVEL
People Now Begin
to Understand the
Most Appreciable
Asset Of the
Organization : It’s
People!
They Commit Themselves to Develop the People Of their Organization
REPRODUCTION
A company grows by growing it’s
people
When it’s people increase their capacity to do more work and
TO ACCOMPLISH
HOW DOES A COMPANY REALLY GROW??
3 thoughts on Developing people
80% of the success of “Equipping People To Be Successful Is In The
Front Door” on who you bring in!!
#1 RECRUITMENT
The ability to not
only bring the right
person in the front
door but also put
him in the “RIGHT
PLACES” !!
POSITIONING#2
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE vs. SUCCESSFUL LEADERS
They have find their niche and they stay and work on that sweet spot
Successful people have discovered what they’re good at!!
Successful people position themselves well
Successful leaders discover what other people are good at !!
Successful leaders position their other people well
#3 TRAINING
– STEP PROCESS FOR TRAINING AND EQUIPPING YOUR PEOPLE
I Do It
• Reproduce what you know
I Do It And You Are With Me
• Mentoring & coaching by observing the leader and being with him/her
You Do It And I’m With You
• Help people to get better, fine tuning by watching & tweaking them
5
LEVEL NO. : THE PINNACLE LEVEL
RESPECT
Because Of Your Qualities, Because Of What You Have Earned With So Many For So Long!
It takes a ‘long’ time to get to this level
PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY FOLLOW YOU BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!
Leadership is an always ongoing, always learning and growing process
People Are on Different Levels With Different People
HOW TO APPLY THIS TO YOURSELF??
• Understand at what level you are with each person you lead
• This tells you how to lead each and every one of them
• People always see a leader through the 5 levels of the grid
• The commitment level is higher, the higher you go with your people
• Different people react differently since they’re at different levels with you
LEADERSHIP IS INFLUENCE, ALWAYS HAS BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE!&
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO INCREASE THAT INFLUENCE WITHIN YOURSELF
GOING FURTHER….
