In the video “The Five Levels of Management,” John Maxwell stated that the five levels of leadership are position, permission, lead by example, people development level, and the Pinnacle level. I thought he explained the five levels of management very well and in a way that is relatable. Anyone who has had a supervisor or has been a leader can relate to his analogies and experiences. I felt that I could put his words together with our text book and class lectures well.
John stated that level one of leadership is the position level. The level where people follow their leader because they must. At this level, a person is not actually a leader, they just have a title.

The video was very interesting and tied in well with our book and lectures. John used funny analogies to help get his point across about how employees respond to each kind of leader. I enjoyed it and learned a lot.
