 What
is Level 5 Leadership? Description
Level Five Leadership is based on the idea that respect towards people,
selflessness by the leader, and a strong powerful commitment to achieve results,
bring out the best in subordinates. Level 5 leaders are a paradoxical blend
of fierce will and personal humility. They are stubborn and ruthless. Yet
they are humble. They are ambitious for their company, and rarely allow their
ego to be an obstacle for the success of their organization. Though they accomplish
great things for their organizations, they attribute their remarkable accomplishments
to their people, external factors and sheer luck. Level 5 Leaders lead with
the help of disciplined people, disciplined thought and disciplined action.
Origin of Level 5 Leadership. History
The Level 5 Leadership theory evolved independently. It was "discovered"
by Collins and his researchers in the companies which had a high level of
growth over fifteen consecutive years. Compare:
Servant-Leadership
Calculation of Level 5 Leadership. Formula
The Right People (culture, character rather than competence) + Humility
+ Strong Professional Will (regarding the goal) = Success.
Usage of Level 5 Leadership. Applications
This method apparently works every time it is tried. It is more about character
than competence. A high competence is not absolutely required to be successful,
but character is a non-negotiable.
Steps in Level 5 Leadership. Process
- Hire the right people.
- Deploy them in the jobs which they are "intended" to do.
- Set a really high long-term goal. (BHAG).
Strengths of Level 5 Leadership. Benefits
You can achieve superb results, long-term, and lasting results.
Limitations of Level 5 Leadership. Disadvantages
- It requires a lot of time and personal investment by the leader.
- The leader does not receive personal credit.
Assumptions of Level 5 Leadership. Conditions
This leadership methodology is emerging, and it has until now not been
discussed extensively. But it appears sensible and strong.
