High Performing Organizations Have Level 5 Leaders

All high-performing organizations have a Level 5 leader. “Level 5” is the highest level in a hierarchy of executive capabilities that can guide an organization from good to great. A Level 5 leader directs, guides, and influences the behavior of members of the team to accomplish organizational goals. Leaders are also visionaries and motivate the organization to future goals.

Leadership is an important function of management and a necessary skill for the growth of an organization. Even when the factors of success fall into place, Level 5 leaders must remain constantly vigilant. These leaders must possess the skills of modesty, humility, and fearlessness.

No matter the phase of growth of an organization, this course will discuss the different characteristics of a Level 5 Leader and leadership styles. We will also explore how Level 5 skills can be used to lead in BIPOC communities that we serve.
