    Level 5 leaders display a compelling modesty and are self-effacing, believing others could do their job better. They do not boast or make things about themselves. These leaders have an unwavering resolve to succeed and do what must be done to produce results, even if unpopular. They focus on building a great company rather than personal gain. When things go well, they look outward to praise others but when things go poorly they look inward and take responsibility. Cultivating Level 5 leadership requires having professional will while also displaying personal humility. Not all people can become Level 5, as some are too focused on fame, fortune, and power, but others with the right mentoring can develop these leadership attributes.

    Leadership-part
    2
    Modesty
    3. A Compelling Modesty
    • Other leaders – I-centric
    • Level 5 – self-effacing
    • “I don’t think I can take much credit. We were
    blessed with marvelous people.”
    • “There are plenty of people…who could do my
    job better.”

    They just didn’t talk about themselves!


    Ken Iverson
    Al Dunlap

    "The Scott story will go down in


    the records of American
    business history as one of the
    most successful, quickest
    turnarounds ever. It makes
    other turnarounds pale by
    comparison.”
    “Rambo in Pinstripes”
    Comparison Companies

    • In over 2/3, gargantuan personal ego 


    demise or continued mediocrity
    Lee Iacocca

    “Running Chrysler has been


    a bigger job than running
    the country… I could handle
    the national economy in six
    months.”
    4. UNWAVERING RESOLVE
    • Not just about humility…

    • Level 5 leaders are fanatically driven, infected


    with an incurable need to produce results

    • They will sell mills or fire their brother, if


    that’s what it takes to succeed!
    George Cain

    • Family in high level positions


    • Fell 89% behind Abbott
    • Fell into merger in 1995

    inside the company

    • Comparison companies had 6 times more

    5. The Window & The Mirror

    When things go well – Look out of


    the window –
    at others to praise
    When things go wrong – Look into
    the mirror –
    at yourself to take responsibility
    Cultivating Level 5 Leadership
    Can it be learnt??

    The Problem: Personal ambition makes leaders,


    but…
    • Conflicts with humility
    • People think they need an egocentric, larger-
    than-life leader to achieve greatness
    Two Sides of Level 5 Leadership
    Professional Will Personal Humility
    Superb results Compelling modesty; never
    boastful
    Unwavering resolve to do Quiet, calm determination;
    what must be done motivates with standards
    Sets standard of building a Channels ambition into
    great company; nothing less organization; sets up
    successors
    Looks in mirror for poor Looks out window for
    results success
    Cultivating Level 5 Leadership
    Two types of People:

    1) Can NEVER become Level 5: focused on:


    • Fame, fortune, power, adulation
    2) Have the “seed” Level 5 Leadership and can
    be developed by the right mentoring
    • Look for situations where extraordinary
    results exist but where no individual steps
    forth to claim excess credit.
