True leadership isn't a matter of having a certain job or title. In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of the five levels every effective leader achieves.
To become more than "the boss" people follow only because they are required to, you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them. To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and build a team that produces. You need to help people to develop their skills to become leaders in their own right. And if you have the skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership-where experience will allow you to extend your influence beyond your immediate reach and time for the benefit of others.
The 5 Levels of Leadership are:
- Position - People follow because they have to
- Permission - People follow because they want to
- Production - People follow because of what you have done for the organization
- People Development - People follow because of what you have done for them personally
- Pinnacle - People follow because of who you are and what you represent
Through humor, in-depth insight, and examples, internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell describes each of these stages of leadership. He shows you how to master each level and rise up to the next to become a more influential, respected, and successful leader.

The purpose of this book project is to analyze why the workplace is
changing so rapidly, identify the enabling factors and understand
what we can do to best prepare for the future. The analysis led to
four significant factors which are all fundamental to the formation
of the future world of work. They are the incredible enabling
technologies, changing attitudes, workforce demographics and
globalization. The rapid and irreversible coalescing of these
factors is creating what is referred to in the book as, ""The
Virtual World of Work or VWOW."" The book covers the changing
workplace from the 1960s through to the present, and then looks to
see what is emerging next and provides predictions for the future
workplace. To assist the readers in tracking their progress, the
book provides a segmentation of this time frame into four distinct
stages. Each stage is identified by the capabilities specific to
the majority of the worker force in each stage. As the work force
transitions from one stage to the next, the accumulated
enhancements or changes to who, how, where and when tasks are
completed is explored.The book project introduces some original
thinking and combines this with the knowledge and expertise from
the leaders in this new field. The book is organized around five
basic questions concerning the virtual world of work. The questions
are: What is the Virtual World of Work? What Factors have Enabled
the Virtual World of Work? Will the Virtual World of Work Continue?
How will the Virtual World Work? How to Architect the Virtual World
of Work? The book covers why the change is happening and how we can
better plan for the future virtual world of work. Over 25 million
workers in the U.S. work from home at least a few days per month.
More and more workers are joining these virtual workers daily and
the amount of time worked out of the traditional office is growing
even more rapidly. There are literally millions of people who need
the information in this book.

- The differences between organisation development and change management classic organisation development models and theories, combined with latest developments in the field
- A practical, structured approach to change managementcase studies in the South African context enriched learning activities throughout the text with added reflective questions, multiple choice questions and case studies at the end of each chapter.
The book covers the core concepts of organisation development with a good balance between theory and application, and is accessible to the novice student, manager and science practitioner of OD. Although the practice of organisation development is growing rapidly in South Africa and neighbouring countries, the lack of academic books on the subject for undergraduate students to serve as a foundation in this field poses a challenge. The aim of this book is to address this gap.
