Special Content Edition with Julian Carle
Leadership does not come from your title. In fact, being named to a position is only the first and lowest of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To become more than a boss people are required to follow, you must master the ability to inspire and build a team that produces not only results, but also future leaders.
Which level are you at as a leader? Which level do you aspire to be? Join Julian as he explores and explains the 5 Levels of Leadership which were developed by bestselling author and leadership expert, John C Maxwell.
