What stages of maturity have you observed in strategy leaders in business?

A discussion in the LinkedIn group Linked 2 Leadership

1. First line leader - the stage where you need others to do things you are responsible for.

2. 3rd line leader - the stage where you need others, with whom you are not personally familiar, to do things you are responsible for.

3. Chief - the stage where you need others, who are completely free to take their own actions or who are qualified to be your boss, to do things you are responsible for.

4. Executive - the stage where you need others, out side of your organization, to change the environment so your organization can do the things you are responsible for.
