This week, we celebrated the 75^th birthday of my friend and leadership mentor, John Maxwell. I have been privileged to first learn from his books and then serve on his leadership team for over a decade now. And I can tell you, I am still learning from this amazing leadership sage.

In honor of this milestone, I wanted to share some of the core principles and practices that define him and that have proven to help leaders across the globe grow exponentially in influence and impact.

There is a five-part series of Executive Leadership podcasts wherein the hosts ingeniously tie together John’s 5 Levels of Leadership teachings with his 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. I encourage you to take one podcast a day and, for the next five days, learn ways you can grow from level to level.

In this series, Perry Holly and Chris Goede guide you through the five levels and several of the laws of leadership.

• Level 1 — Position and the Laws of the Lid, Process, and Navigation
• Level 2 — Permission and the Laws Addition, Solid Ground, Connection, and Buy In
• Level 3 — Production and the Laws of Respect, Picture, the Big Mo, and Priorities
• Level 4 — People Development and the Laws of Empowerment and Explosive Growth
• Level 5 — Pinnacle and the Laws of Intuition, Timing, and Legacy

This is a great “mini-course,” essentially, for leadership development based on principles and practices that work. Your first step to growth is to take action. Now the question is: Will you take action…today?
