What are Jim Collins Level 5 leaders? Level 5 leadership is a concept developed in the book Good to Great. Level 5 leaders display a powerful mixture of personal humility and indomitable will. They're incredibly ambitious, but their ambition is first and foremost for the cause, for the organization and its purpose, not themselves. While Level 5 leaders can come in many personality packages, they are often self-effacing, quiet, reserved, and even shy. This week we discuss what makes a level 5 leader, why level 5 leadership matters, and the challenge that comes with being a level 4 leader. Also, we provide examples that we've seen where individuals and companies have successfully built level 5 leadership.     ----- * Do you love The Growth Whisperers and want to see our smiling faces?
