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.
-
Solves issues along with their team.
-
Takes the blame and gives credit to others.
-
Focuses on the success of the organization and not about themselves.
According to Jim Collins and his Standford 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.
