The material in this training module is adapted from the book "How Successful People Lead" by John C. Maxwell. The Drive Thru explains how true leadership works. It is not generated by your title. In fact, being named to a position is the lowest of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To be more than a boss people are required to follow, you must master the ability to inspire and invest in people. You need to build a team that produces not only results, but also future leaders.
