Permission Level

Permission Level is based entirely on relationship. On the Permission level, people follow because they want to. When you like people and treat them like individuals who have value, you begin to develop influence with them. You develop trust. The environment becomes much more positive—whether at home, on the job, at play, or while volunteering. The agenda for leaders on Level 2 isn’t preserving their position. It’s getting to know their people and figuring out how to get along with them. Leaders find out who their people are. Followers find out who their leaders are. People build solid, lasting relationships.

Your  focus as a leader at this level is relationship development with your follower(s) and the way to achieve this is by liking them you can't develop relationship with people you don't like, you need to show your follower that you like them and that you're interested in them,this will automatically get you attracted to them and they will be willing and ready to satisfy you as leader,ready and willing to go extra-miles with you and for  you.

so, you have to be a likeable personality as a leader,your follower(s) should be comfortable being around you. when you see  level 2 leader's  their follower's are always ready to sacrifice for them, because they like them, a perfect example of this is Jesus Christ, he made himself so likeable to his disciple's by sacrificing for them and in return they where ready to die for him and eventually died to keep his legacies and teachings alive even after him.

To play as a leader at this level you must be liked by your follower(s) and the way to achieve this is by liking them and in response they will give you permission to lead them.
