A couple of “book mentors” of mine; John Maxwell and Jim Collins have summarized leadership and the art of leading into 5 levels.
Although their summaries are a little different, each of them define  “Level 5 leading” in very similar fashion.
Maxwell’s Level 5:Â People follow you because of who you are and what you represent.
Collins’ Level 5: Level 5 leaders have a paradoxical combination of personal humility and professional will.
Both of these level 5’s are reached through the ongoing progression of having a desire to learn about and understand those you lead.
And it’s really hard to understand those you lead if you don’t understand yourself.
Leadership is an inside out job.

Luke 14:11, “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
