Level 5 Leader

= Humility + Will

The Two Sides of Level 5Professional Will

Creates superb results, a clear catalyst in the transition from good to great

Demonstrates an unwavering resolve to do whatever must be done to produce the best long-term results, no matter how difficult.

Sets the standard of building an enduring great company; will settle for nothing less.

Looks in the mirror, not out the window, to apportion responsibility for poor results.

35

The Second SidePersonal Humility

Demonstrates a compelling modesty, shunning public adulation; never boastful.

Acts with quiet, calm determination; relies principally on inspired standards, not inspiring charisma, to motivate

Channels ambition into the company, not the self; sets up successors for even greater success in the next generation.

Looks out of window, not in the mirror, to apportion credit for the success of the company.

From cultural heritage ( history) “Vidya dadati vinyam, vinyat yati patratam I Patratat vad dhanam aapnoti Dhanat dharmah tatah sukhaam II”

Christ: Holy Bible :“… Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth…” Mathew 5.5 “ .. Seek help in patience and prayer ; and truly it is hard save

for the humble minded…” Surah 2.45

Notice how the geese fly on their long flight of migration …

38

Lets learn from Mother Nature…Geese are unique as a team. The team behaves as a cohesive whole with a common goal of reaching a particular destination in mind. - Team members help each other since they collectively achieve much more than they can alone.

40

The lessons we can learnPeople who share a common direction and sense of

community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.

If we have as much sense as a Geese we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give our help to others.

If one is tired or sick, another will stay back, for nursing and moral support ,till integrated with the team.

41

The lessons we can learn

It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with Geese, people are interdependent on each other's skills, capabilities and unique arrangements of gifts, talents or resources.

We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, the production is much greater. The power of encouragement (to stand by one's heart or core values and encourage the heart and core of other) is the quality of honking we seek.

42

The lessons we can learnIf we have as much sense as Geese, we

will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.

Now ! What do you say to that!!!
