The 3 Levels of Leaders
The 3 Levels of Leaders
The 3 Levels of Leaders
BY DAVID FINKEL
When it comes to being a leader, we are all on different journeys and paths. But overall,
most of us (or the leaders in our company) fall within one of three categories. And
understanding what each category consists of will help us not only identify where our
leaders are at present but will also help you identify where they need support
and development to grow in their positions. So, whether it is you or your key team
members, understanding where you fall on the scale is the first step to becoming a
better leader for your team.
This kind of leadership doesn't happen overnight, it takes years to get to this level and
some leaders never make it past the first or second level. Or they struggle for years
before finding a manager or leadership coach who will help them grow and develop.
And over time with deliberate practice, they become more skilled and develop into the
third level of leadership.
