According to Jason, there are 4 levels of employees:
Level 1 is usually where new employees come in; they say, “Tell me what to do.” Level 2 employees do what they’re told to do and then ask, “What else can I do?” Level 3 employees proactively look for what else they can do and come up with new solutions. Level 4 employees can lead themselves with little to no direction and are in perfect alignment with the company’s focus.As an employee “levels up” they become more and more engaged and invested in the company’s vision, culture, and beliefs.
