Level 5 Leader

 It's interesting, how a guy decides to research what makes companies go from good to great and sustain their greatness over the span of 15 plus years. He has a whole board of research assistants helping him dive into the elements that have made these companies great and it comes down to this idea of a Level 5 leader. This is a leader that essentially embodies the Christ-like qualities of humility and determination. It is the gospel of Jesus Christ embodied. If he had studied the life of Jesus Christ, he would have come up with the same results his many years . In the book, he explains that he doesn't have a specific guide for how to become a Level 5 leader, but recommends working to obtain the qualities of a Level 5 leader in order to try to become one. I do have a specific guide he could recommend to his readers who want to know specifically how to become a Level 5 leader. It's the "Come follow me" mandate from our Savior. As we attempt to refine ourselves in all areas of our lives with the help of the Holy Ghost, we can become more like Christ. That is what the purpose of this life is all about. It's about becoming. In this process we recognize our utter dependence on the Lord and we learn that the only thing we can give him is our will. This is what brings about the required humility of a Level 5 leader. Then it is our determined work that accompanies our faith that brings about the other balancing characteristic of willpower to do a great work for the benefit of mankind rather than our own aggrandizement. This humility and purpose greater than self is the essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ and our highest goal and mission as covenant children of our Heavenly Father.
