I am the author of Building the Best and the founder of LearnLoft, a leadership development company that has helped thousands of managers and executives become the leaders their teams deserve. I write two weekly newsletters — Leadership Lens and Optimistic Outlook — read by 300k+ leaders across the country. I make free YouTube videos because leadership development should not be reserved for the C-suite. Every manager deserves to know what great leadership actually looks like — and more importantly, where they stand right now. This video covers: The 5 Levels of Leadership — a framework I use in keynotes and executive coaching sessions to help leaders understand their current level and what it takes to get to the next one. Level 1 — Directs. They do it because you told them to. Level 2 — Connects. They know you actually know them. Level 3 — Develops. They are getting better because of you. Level 4 — Shapes. They didn't just get better. They think differently because of you. Level 5 — Multiply. They are leading others because of you. A team will only go as far and as high as its leadership. Which means the most important work you can do right now is figure out what level you are actually on — and commit to getting to the next one. ABOUT LEARNLOFT: LearnLoft is a leadership development company helping organizations grow leaders at every level. We offer keynotes, workshops, and executive coaching backed by real research and real results. https://learnloft.com/ #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #manager #executivecoaching #learnloft
