I Am Completely Socratic.

Level 5 Leaders Are Differentiated From Other Levels Of Leaders In That They Have A Wonderful Blend Of Personal Humility Combined With Extraordinary Professional Will. Understand That They Are Very Ambitious; But Their Ambition, First And Foremost, Is For The Company's Success. They Realize That The Most Important Step They Must Make To Become A Level 5 Leader Is To Subjugate Their Ego To The Company's Performance. When Asked For Interviews, These Leaders Will Agree Only If It's About The Company And Not About Them.

In Determing "the Right People," The Good-to-great Companies Placed Greater Weight On Character Attributes Than On Specific Educational Background, Practical Skills, Specialized Knowledge, Or Work Experience.

The Greatest Leaders Build Organizations That, In The End, Don't Need Them.

The Only Way To Deliver To The People Who Are Achieving Is To Not Burden Them With The People Who Are Not Achieving.

Focusing Solely On What You Can Potentially Do Better Than Any Other Organization Is The Only Path To Greatness.
