Level 5 dilemma

Rob Parker’s 2-minute take on Jim Collins’ Level 5 Leadership:

It’s a mix of humility and professional will, not charisma and dazzling personality. Level 5 leaders accept responsibility when things go wrong and give others credit for success. And level 5 leaders set up their successors for even greater success.

And Parker orginal insight: unfortunately one of our biggest challenges is that boards of directors and executive search firms do not look for level 5 leaders; they look for charismatic, dazzling leaders… “And it’s unfortunate.”
