Altering even by a small degree the trajectory of leaders can have significant effects down the line.
Questions are better than answers.
1. What cause do you serve with Level 5 ambition?
If you have a charismatic cause you don't need a charismatic leader.
Personal humility and indomitable will. Ambitious service to a cause. Level 5 leaders inspire people to follow a cause.
2. Will you settle for being a good leader, or will you grow to be a great leader?
Leadership isn't management. Leadership isn't personality, position, rank, title or power. Leadership is about people following by choice. Invoking tank or power is abdication of leadership. Leadership is an art. It is unique to each individual. You can learn from others, but can't copy. You must learn your own art.
3. How can you reframe failure as growth in pursuit of BHAG?
The other side of success is… growth.
4. How can you succeed by helping others succeed?
Create the environment where a person is never alone in their struggles. Communal success is genuine success.
5. Have you found your hedgehog – your personal hedgehog?
Passion – what drives you, enjoy? Design – what are you designed to do? Economic engine – what can you do to fund your BHAG?
What are you energized to do and passionate about in spite of obstacles – your personal hedgehog.
Life is a series of hands dealt. Some are good, others are bad. It's not about the hands but about staying in the game.
6. Will you build your unit into a pocket of greatness?
Focus on your unit of responsibility. Not on your career. Be rigorous, not ruthless, about the people you choose to do the seats on your bus. Focus on taking care of your people. And they won't let you fail. Great leaders make impacts on people.
7. How will you change the lives of others?
Life is people. How can you be useful in the service of transforming people for the better?
