The 5 Levels of Leadership Explained Simply | John C. Maxwell

True leadership isn’t about your title. It’s about who follows you when they don’t have to.

In this powerful episode, Linda Cureton shares how she developed real leadership skills — not in the boardroom, but while leading unpaid volunteers at church.

Using the 5 Levels of Leadership by John C. Maxwell, Linda explores:

• How to get things done without power, paychecks, or pressure

• What really defines a leader (hint: it's not your job title)

• The difference between managers and leaders

• How her time at IBM and her ministry team helped her become a respected, high-performing leader

🙌 Whether you're building a team, leading in faith spaces, or just want to grow your influence — this is your blueprint.

🎯 Real leadership is about impact without authority. And when you reach the top level — personhood — people follow not for what you do, but for who you are.

Watch now to unlock powerful leadership lessons, real stories, and actionable insights.
