Level 5 Leadership also Applies to Life in General

The principles applied by level 5 leaders also apply to life in general - Respect for others, humbleness, selflessness, commitment, drive and a passion to bring out the best in others. By allowing your people the glory and praise you build a committed team that will achieve results. To build the right team takes time and longterm investment.
You have to be passionate about people, life and your job to achieve this - your job needs to be a calling not a means to earn an income! The focus needs to shift from recruiting highly skilled (operationally) people to people with relevant human, life and leadership skills. You can teach operational competencies.
