New York Times' Best Selling Author  John C. Maxwell makes some valuable points about leadership in this talk at Chic-Fil-A Leadercast.

Level Number1
This level of leadership is about position, where the leader simply has a title. People only follow this leader because they have to, possibly in order to get a paycheck.

Level Number 2:
People follow this leader because they want  to. The key ingredient at this level is relationship. The leader is liked by his followers. This leader listens well, constantly observes his followers and is always learning. He has an attitude of servant-hood.

Level Number 3:

The production level. They key word is results. This leader produce by example. At this level, by the leader becoming productive in his own life, he attracts people who begin to be productive as well. These leaders try to create momentum which they use to solve problems.

Level Number 4:
This is the  people development level. A company is grown by growing its people. Keys to developing good people is recruitment. positioning and equipping. No matter how talented someone is, if he is out of position he will never reach his potential.

The 5 step equipping process is:

1. The leader does is
2. The leader does it and the follower observes
3. The follower does is and the leader observes
4. The follower does it on his own
5. The follower does it and someone is with him(compounding).

Level Number 5:
The pinnacle level. They keyword at this level is respect. This leader is followed because of who he is and what he has done.

Leadership is an always ongoing, always learning, growing process. Every leader is on different levels with different people. People will respond differently when the leader casts a vision based on the level that leader is on with them.

Relationships are based upon the value that you place upon yourself.
Relationships are about developing your internal gravity rather than hoping someone finds you attractive.
Boys tend to cause problems. Men solve problems.

He has to have a force of will that is stronger than the force of will trying to hold him back.Society does not teach us power and abundance.

When you do splendidly, that will allow you to help others on a greater level as you will be in a position to give back and create jobs.

The mind is able to hear affirmations 40db below the regular earshot.You are a product of all the thoughts and feelings of the people around you.

Society is different today than in times of the past when there was less to do.

All of the governments let all of the people down all of the time. They are only worried about their position.
The wealth of a nation is the individual man.

The only way to you can win your freedom is to have enough cash to pull out of the system and to disengage yourself from the feelings of the world so it is not controlling you. You have to force yourself to allow yourself to be in control of the money you make. You have to spend less than you earn and earn enough to buy the experiences you want.

Money is like manure.If you spread it around it makes things grow.

If you resonate poor feelings you have to stay poor. To have abundance, you have to begin to see abundance in those things that you actually have.

Going and meeting people is a way of expanding your energy.
Love people by serving them. Put your ego aside for their needs.

Who Did It Better?

Two quite amazing circus shots were made by two outstanding basketball players in two separate NBA games recently. One by John Wall of the Washington Wizards during a game against the Chicago Bulls and the other by Lance Stephenson of the Indiana Pacers during a game against the Atlanta Hawks. These were seriously two of the best trickshots I have EVER Seen. The degree of difficulty to execute and even come close to making such shots is really high (exactly why I'm gonna try them out the next time I go on the court lol)  It absolutely is a tough choice to decide which shot was the best.

Any work you do that involves interaction with other people is moral work.

One of the important thing that children need to learn is character.

Children need to learn to respect themselves, to respect others and to respect learning.

The virtue which is needed above others is practical wisdom because it allows other virtues to be displayed at the right time and in the right way.

Practical wisdom is the combination of moral will and moral skill.

A wise person knows when and how to make an exception to every rule.

A wise person knows how to improvise.

A wise person knows how to use moral skills to serve other people.

A wise person is made not born.

It takes lots of experience to learn how to care for other people.Wisdom depends on experience. Not just any kind of experience. You need the tmie to get to know the people you are serving . You need permission to be allowed to improvise and  to try new things and sometimes fail and learrn from your failures and you need to be mentored by wise teachers
