Why aren’t there more level 5 leaders? There are plenty of
Level 5 leaders, but Board of Directors have a tendency to select dazzling, celebrity leaders rather than Level 5

The Right People

Self motivated—don’t need to be tightly managed or fired up
Will do the right things and deliver the best results regardless of the incentive system Negative correlation: Good to Great

Rigor
Tremendous rigor needed in people decisions to take a company from good to great
Greater weight on character attributes than on a specific educational background, practical skills, work experience
First Who…Then What
![Page 20: Good to Great](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554c66dab4c90575798b47e0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

layoffs and 4 just had 1 Comparison companies used layoffs 5
times more frequently than Good to Great companies
Lead a Great LifeFirst Who…Then What

How to be Rigorous
When in doubt, don’t hire—keep looking
Act when you know you need to make a change Unfair to everyone to let the wrong
people hang around Off the Bus or move to another seat?
First Who…Then What

Focus on Opportunities
Put your best people on your biggest opportunities, not your biggest problems
Managing your problems can only make you good, building your opportunities can make you great
When you decide to sell off your problems don’t sell of your best people
First Who…Then What

Confront the Brutal Facts
![Page 24: Good to Great](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554c66dab4c90575798b47e0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Don‘t De-Motivate
Expending energy on motivating people is largely a waste of time
The key is not to de-motivate people Nothing more demoralizing than
ignoring the brutal facts of reality
Confront theBrutal Facts
![Page 25: Good to Great](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554c66dab4c90575798b47e0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Don‘t De-Motivate
“There is no worse mistake in Public Leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept way” Winston S. Churchill
Confront theBrutal Facts

Creating a culture where the truth can be heard Lead with Questions not Answers
Understanding and not manipulation or put downs Engage in dialog and debate—not coercion
Search for the best answers Conduct Autopsies without Blame
“I will take responsibility for this bad decision. But we will all take responsibility for extracting the maximum learning from the tuition we’ve paid” Joe Cullman, Phillip Morris
Build a red flag mechanisms that turn information into information that can’t be ignored
Confront theBrutal Facts
![Page 27: Good to Great](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554c66dab4c90575798b47e0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Level 5 Leadership
The strength of a leader’s personality doesn’t deter people from bringing him or her the brutal facts
Leadership isn’t just vision, it’s getting people to confront the brutal facts and act on the implications
Confront theBrutal Facts
![Page 28: Good to Great](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554c66dab4c90575798b47e0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Stockdale Paradox
Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulty
Confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they may be
AND at the same time
![Page 29: Good to Great](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554c66dab4c90575798b47e0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Hardiness
By hitting the realities of their situation head-on Good-to-Great emerged from adversity even stronger
Confront theBrutal Facts

UnconsciousNatural Selection Relativity
Hedgehog Concept
Simply a complex world into a single organizing idea Essence of profound insight is simplicity E=MC2
Good to Great took a simple concept and implemented it with fanatical consistency

Being the Best Not a goal to be the best Not a strategy to be the best Not an intention to be the best Not a plan to be the best Understanding of what you can be the best at Just because you have been doing something for years
your core business does not necessaryily mean you can be the best at it
Curse of competency “Just because your good at it--just because we’re making money and generating growth--doesn’t necessaryly mean we can be the best at it
Doing only what your good at will only make you good; focusing only what you can do better than any other oranization is the only path to greatness
