Level 5 Leadership

I was perusing through one my favorite books on leadership last night - "Good to Great" by Jim Collins. One of the key factors in a successful company comes from its leadership. The leaders that were at the helm of the successful companies that he studied had similar attributes. He defines the combination of these as "Level 5 Leadership". The five most important characteristics of Level 5 leaders as:

1. A personal sense of humility

2. A deep personal understanding of one's strengths and weaknesses

3. A laser-like focus on the organization's purpose

4. A passionate commitment to continuous learning

5. A relentless determination to do what is right, not what is easy

No one leader does this perfectly, but it is definitely something to strive for. I find that I am most effective as a leader when I am exhibiting these characteristics leading my dental office, various committees/organizations I am part of, my family, etc.

I try to inspire others along these lines through my actions. I thank my many mentors and role models that I have had a long the way who showed me how effective this style of leadership can be!
