Both highly successful and less successful companies have decent leadership. Except, less successful companies have what you call a level 4 leader.
- They produce results, make the decisions, and others follow.
- It’s more about them and their success rather than the success of the organization.
Meanwhile, highly successful companies have a level 5 leader.
- They raise up stronger leaders around them.
- Solve issues along with their team.
- Take the blame and give credit to others.
- Focus on the success of the organization and not about themselves.
According to Jim Collins and his Stanford team, the difference between a highly successful company and one that fails is the difference in the type of leader.
- Make sure you are focused on seeing the organization be successful even at your own expense.
- Encourage people smarter than you to join the team.
- Listen to their ideas and give them the credit.
If you build your skills as a level 5 leader, you’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish.
