In recent days I’m re-listening to Good to Great by Jim Collins. Collins’ definition is simple: “Level 5 leaders blend the paradoxical combination of deep personal humility with intense professional will.” This is, as Collins puts it, a “study in duality.” So can you and I become a Level 5 leader?

Phil Collins – When Peter Gabriel left Genesis in the mid-1970’s, the band auditioned over 400 vocalists before they discovered their drummer already had the voice they needed. What she ended up creating was a team of nice people that were afraid to make a decision without their boss. Disney kept doodling.
