Good to Great
So, what is a Level 5 Leader?
Let’s look at a few of them.
Darwin Smith, Kimberly Clark, CEO from :
Few people know anything about him.
His awkward shyness and lack of pretense was coupled with a fierce, even stoic, resolve toward life.
Blended extreme personal humility with intense professional will.

14. Colman Mockler, CEO of Gillette from 1975 to 1991:
Good to Great
Colman Mockler, CEO of Gillette from 1975 to 1991:
A quiet and reserved man, always courteous, Mockler had the reputation of a gracious, almost patrician gentleman.
Those who mistook Mockler’s reserved nature for weakness found themselves beaten in the end.
During Mockler’s tenure, Gillette faced three attacks, each of which threatened Gillettes opportunity for greatness.

16. From the book: “Good churches might become great churches.”
Good to Great
“Level 5 leaders channel their ego needs away from themselves and into the larger goal of building a great company. It’s not that Level 5 leaders had no ego or self-interest. Indeed, they are incredibly ambitious- but their ambition is first and foremost for the institution, not themselves.”
From the book: “Good churches might become great churches.”

17. Do the characteristics of Level 5 Leaders sound familiar to you?
God’s Word
Do the characteristics of Level 5 Leaders sound familiar to you?
Galatians 5:22-23 “22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

18. 7and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
God’s Word
2 Peter 1:5-7
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control perseverance, godliness;
7and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.

19. God’s Word
2 Peter 1:8
8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

20. What about the “inner strength” part?
God’s Word
OK, OK, we understand the “shy and unassuming,” like Underdog, part, but,
What about the “inner strength” part?
Let’s look at a biblical example of a great leader
– Moses

21. God’s Word
Moses
Humility
When the Lord first called to Moses from the burning bush, “Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.” (Exodus 3:6 KJV) In other words, he was humble and recognized he was in a presence greater than his own.

22. Uncompromising of what is expected
God’s Word
Moses
Uncompromising of what is expected
Each time he went into Pharaoh he would tell him, “Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews ... let my people go, that they may serve me.” (Exodus 10:3 KJV) A good leader in Christ does not compromise his values or his mission.

23. Persistence in the face of adversity
God’s Word
Moses
Persistence in the face of adversity
Moses never falters from going before Pharaoh and demanding the Israelites be set free. Each time Pharaoh says no or reneges on his promise to let the people go, Moses continues in his mission. He does not go back to God and say, this is too hard. It is never going to happen.
He demonstrates this persistence again as he leads the Israelites to the promised land. Even though they murmured for food and then for water, he continued to lead them, to guide them and to teach them.
