The Explainer: What It Takes to Be a Great Leader

- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
- “Level 5” leadership is about combining fierce resolve with personal humility.
“Level 5” refers to the highest level in a hierarchy of executive capabilities. Leaders at the other four levels in the hierarchy can produce high degrees of success but not enough to elevate companies from mediocrity to sustained excellence. Level 5 leaders blend extreme personal humility with intense professional will.
And while Level 5 leadership is not the only requirement for transforming a good company into a great one - other factors include getting the right people on the bus (and the wrong people off the bus) and creating a culture of discipline - research shows it to be essential. Good-to-great transformations don’t happen without Level 5 leaders at the helm. They just don’t.

A leader is someone who has all the answers, inspires other people to do their best work, who exudes likeability and character, and who sacrifices for the team. A typical leader is someone who pretends to have all the answers, who micromanages your work, who intimidates others into compliance, and who gets you to sacrifice for the team.
In a time of rapid, constant and disruptive change, how can a Leader have all the answers?
@@iancoxan4254yeah that part "have all the answers" is not too insightful I'd say..
P.Linconl is a great reader, time is value to him.Once upon the time when the customer ask the price and trying to lower the price, he upper the price and give the reason that waste him the time and customer as well.
Thoughtful video 🤔. Something I say a lot in my business is "Details Matter". Working with startups, I think when people step into new leadership roles they can get so fixed on objectives and large goals they can lose focus on the small but important factors that could hurt their team or business in the long run. As a leader, who you bring together and how you apply your resources is on you. If the team fails, you missed something, if they succeed, the most credit you should ever take is that you delegated well.
Excellent advice! Thanks very much.
Thanks for sharing this video

2019 June 25 HBR RUclips Video - The Explainer- What it takes to be a great leader
Part 8. Continuation of the comment. Science Fiction and Scientific “Delusions”.
Going back to the 9 Easy Acts, I asked myself- Why is this technological impossibility (kicking a major world system with one’s toe) termed “Easy”? Among all the words at their picking, why did they choose the word “Easy”?
I reflected deeply. Perhaps, “Easy” is not about an act. Perhaps “Easy” is an event. So, from that perspective I tried a logic trick and see if it breaks the impasse. I replaced the word “easy” with “inevitable”. “Kicking a major world system” is an inevitable event. The 9 Inevitable Events. The 9 Inevitable Acts. The standpoint of faith. It broke the mental impasse.
Inevitable events mean a progression of major technological events. The journey should ultimately end with humankind achieving the capability of “kicking a major world system with one’s toe” easily. From this perspective, 2 major areas of consideration surfaced.
First, forward progression in both time and tech achievements. The second consideration,…. hmmm,… let’s discuss first the first consideration and talk later about the second. Nope, this is a thriller. Let’s suffer together. (smile)
Forward progression. We are all familiar with the term “reverse engineering”. I attempted to reverse engineer the “kicking event” with a question: “What is the approximate tech level that can be vividly achieved by humankind which would qualify as the beginnings of the ‘kicking event’?
It must be vivid, so it stands a chance of being created. And once one gets to that level, once one is vividly standing on that high tech level shoulder, then maybe.. that “kicking event” will become a tiny weeny light at the end of a very looooooong tunnel. Still very far but already visible.
Searching for that mythical tech shoulder in the future got me into an impasse. How about looking back? Is there an ancient colossus today that may qualify as a high technological shoulder? Meaning can the tech level of humankind today, progress to a point where we can recreate that colossus in the future in a much simpler and easier way?
2 colossi stood out. The Egyptian Pyramids and Antarctica.

Comment Part 7. Science Fiction and Scientific “Delusions”.
(Continuation from the HBR RUclips Video - March 16, 2022 Interview - featuring Mr. Jared Spataro)
Let’s continue.
3,000 years from candles to cellphones is a long time. Especially for a tech mindset that hungers for 3 months or quarterly returns. And if 3,000 years is not enough time to “kick a major world system with our toe” then how many more sets of Excalibur journeys (3,000 years per set) does humankind need to get there?
Here, doubts crept in.
Were these monks concocting impossibilities and classified it as “9 Easy Acts” to dramatize the struggle of executing the “6 Difficult Acts”?
Yet while the lone polymath Copernicus (14th century) was still pleading his case that the tiny planet Earth, revolves around the sun, these hundreds of monks, religious polymaths, (born 1,000 years before Copernicus), we're already asserting that “kicking” not just a planet, or a sun, but a major world system is easy. The doubts lost.
I went back to the fundamentals. I was wrong. I studied the 9 Easy Acts from the standpoint of doubt. I should have studied it from the standpoint of faith. And from that standpoint, history, as I was mentored, is not just a chronicle of past events. History is also a directional finder. History is a “Where to go and how to get there” story. It is the heart that is important.
The 15th-century genius, Leonardo da Vinci imagined rudimentary “almost Excalibur type” vehicles. He drew an approximate image of a helicopter. 500 years later the Apache attack helicopter emerged. What we can imagine, vividly, can be created.
Guys like Leonardo, forgive me if I am wrong, inhale, exhale, caress, smell, touch, taste, play with, and go to bed with their “Excalibur creations”. In their minds. In their hearts. There is this real vivid world, and there is this other, equally vivid, “real world”. And both worlds co-exist harmoniously together. But… depending on the times… they are careful. A slip of the tongue and they end up in the stake or an asylum. Like Copernicus or Leonardo, it takes courage to “bring to life” one’s dreams. A creator’s happy or sad ending is a matter of the heart. And so it is with history’s endings. They are a matter of the heart.
I digressed again. Apologies. Shall we go back to “kicking major world systems”? emmanuelmatuco@linkedin.
And there are leaders who are extroverted AND work at level 5
He didn’t say one can not be extroverted and work at level 5, rather homage is given more to extroverted charisma but no results.
@@stephenxadonai Absolutely true, many employers link capability with extraversion, it can act as a smoke screen in regards to truly observing ones abilities.
NL3044 right, because many people in HR or who are hiring come straight out college with no real world exposure have VERY low discernment of humans (low EQ) and cross-functional skillsets
Book this is referenced from is called "Good to Great". Hope you found it by this time.

(Disclaimer: The comments are mine alone. I take full responsibility).
Comment 6B- Final Comment on the 6th World - Heaven
What “triggered” Siddhartha (Sakyamuni) to give up his “seat” in Heaven and pursue the life of a beggar?
Data about the life of Siddhartha, the prince, is limited. The life of Sakyamuni though, through his teachings, is vast. Being the same person, I will use the essence of the latter’s teachings to attempt to reverse engineer the trigger that launched the prince Siddhartha on a quest that made him Sakyamuni.
Childbirth. Healthy adult. Sick old man. Dead man. Four scenes in the four gates story.
I don’t think Siddhartha saw these scenes just once. These are typical daily events. They occur regularly and is talked about. The birth of a cousin or the death of an uncle for instance. But Siddhartha is an incisive thinker. I surmised; the story of the Four Gates was crafted to enhance a specific message. Impermanence? And from this insight the “dots got connected”. These dots were either taught to him beforehand or arrive at by himself. And once connected, this “Four Gates” insight became a relentless thirst. A trigger.
In Siddhartha’s heart a very delicate string was triggered. This thirst slowly consumed his entire being. Upon reaching its height, he had to leave “Heaven’s walls”. The royal palace constricts his capability to quenched it.
What is this “thirst”? Probably he thought of his mother. His father. All those that love him. Nannies, friends, servants. “If only I can repay their love. If only I can end their misery, their suffering?” Love and gratitude are very empowering. But are they enough to leave heaven’s walls?
Personally, the Four Gates story is a weak scaffold to the theme of leaving “heaven’s gates”. A more appropriate one, probably, a more convincing and heart-wrenching scene is that of a mother or father/child hugging kissing and tears of love with death and sickness surrounding. We missed something. What?
It must be the “Archimedes eureka moment”. Archimedes must have so resolved to find an answer to a brain-racking riddle, the moment it pops up, everything blurred. He hurled himself from his bathtub towards the direction of the king’s palace, shouting “eureka! eureka!” while running through the streets of Syracuse, naked.
In medieval samurai Japan, Zennichi-maro, a boy, a chandala, somewhere between 13-16 years old, entered the priesthood with the vow to bring happiness to his parents. Facing Bodhisattva Space Treasury, the temple’s statue, the boy must have expressed this vow so powerfully. The latter, it was said, appeared and “bestowed upon him a jewel of wisdom, bright as the morning star” (WND,p176).
The “answer” when it shows up is “freeing”. Nichiren Daishonin, the boy, embarked on a quest, overcoming persecutions after persecutions, risking everything, including his life, so that Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, the essence of the Lotus Sutra, the highest teaching of Sakyamuni, can be shared to the world. Because every parent, who deserves a child, who is pregnant with child, who loves and cares for that child, also deserves the love and protection that child can bestow in return. To give back love, compassion to the world. The innate greatness of all ordinary human beings. Children, especially those inside a helpless mother’s womb, don’t deserve to be bombed! That’s pure evil.
Going back, could this “empowering and freeing” feeling be the only reason why Siddhartha discarded ‘heaven” and embarked on a quest?
Firstly, the true nature of this 6th world- Heaven, is short-lived. So is the happiness one seeks to derive from it. Material wealth, geo-political power, they don’t last. One dynasty. Two dynasties. Global empires, what does it matter? From the perspective of eternal time, a thousand dynasties is an insignificant dot. Like a beautiful well-formed cloud whose beauty crumbles to nothing before strong winds. Grab a smoke, and you get mere air. Nothing will last. It is the law.
Further, this kingship seems cursed. Another “ruler” lurks in the shadows. A trickster. It makes kings once kind, become tyrants. It makes others, succumbed to complacency, or idleness, or arrogance. And it can’t be driven away. It’s innate. It’s a virulent function in this 6th World- Heaven. Due to its devilish workings, it’s termed the devil of the 6th heaven.
Just when you thought you’re a “made man”, the devil king tricks you. Under its influence, you slide back down to the four lower worlds. Back to Hell, Hunger, Animality, Anger. Back to suffering. And as it ushers you down, it murmurs “nothing is permanent. This is a battle you can’t win.”
Can one ever win? Siddhartha, getting a glimpse of the workings of the One True Vehicle disagreed. It must be defeated. That's part of his vow. So, rather than spending his remaining life like a frog gradually being boiled to death, he vowed to win, and thereby left his “burning palace”. “There is no safety in the threefold world”- Lotus Sutra. His vow was very lofty.
In his society, everyone dreamt of becoming a Brahmin. It’s very difficult to achieve. It takes enumerable lifetimes to become one. But Siddhartha the Brahmin knew, it is not the life condition every human being deserves. Everyone deserves the highest. Because everyone is originally endowed. He thus vowed to make everyone an enlightened one. Everyone, a Buddha.
In the Lotus Sutra, Sakyamuni’s vow states: (Japanese) “Mai ji sa ze nen. I ga ryo shujo. Toku nyu mu-jo do. Soku joju busshin”. “At all times I think to myself: How can I cause living beings. to gain entry into the unsurpassed way”.
Like there is a voice inside you powerfully entreating: “Common, let’s go! Let’s enter the path!” But this kind of entreaty, as data indicates, presumes one is enlightened already. Sakyamuni reportedly experienced this entreaty “after” he attained enlightenment under the tree. Not before enlightenment. Again, is there more to the Four Gates story? Was it providing a glimpse, an outline of what Sakyamuni sought?
What is this event, this thing called enlightenment?
My mind is swirling. With all this possible sacrilege committed by so many assumptions, and the fact I’ve taken you with me on a wild goose quest, the safest course for you to take is to stop and leave. And I would understand.
On the other hand, I’ve come to rely on your presence. Silent, intriguing, implacable. So against my earlier reservations, please stay. You’ve come this far in the path. Let us finish this quest together. Please?
Bad companies do all the same things
Holy smokes!!!
Compare and contrast Trump with a level 5 leader described in this video....dismal

Comment 6A- 6th World of the 10 Worlds Doctrine- Heaven
Finally we’ve reached heaven (6th World)! A personal milestone. Please allow me to celebrate it with a very joyous song capturing the trailblazing spirit of the West! The song sung by Seals and Crofts titled- John Wayne! (from the Album: One on One)
Do I feel that I'll prove a match to this world? Does Gene Kelly sing in the rain?
Yes I have a mind with a mind of its own, a soul like the soul of John Wayne
Wagons ho, move 'em out. 'Til the end of the trail, our love will never fail. Wagons ho!
(ruclips.net/video/fVEPbFvxdPw/видео.html)
We’re now deep into the 10 worlds doctrine and inside the “Higher Worlds” group namely (5th-Humanity, 6th-Heaven, 7th-Learning, 8th-Realization).
Fundamentally, the nature of the lower worlds (1st-4th) were about winning against the external world to attain happiness. And it led to a struggle to dehumanize others and the environment in order to justify abusing and or destroying them. The external world is a source of suffering. And if one feels helpless or losses in this struggle against that external world, then the only option is to escape this world and hopes that in death one can find happiness or respite from suffering (1st -World of Hell).
On the contrary, the beings dwelling on the states of life called the higher worlds hold a different perspective. It is still a struggle to attain happiness, but this struggle is characterized by winning over oneself, rather than winning against the external world. Happiness is within. The external world are full of triggers of the happiness within. The external world is an “enabler” to the beings dwelling in the worlds of Humanity, Heaven, Learning, and Realization.
(Before we go further, the 10 Worlds doctrine are not mine. They are already in the sutras, especially in the Lotus Sutra and books written at least hundreds of years before me. Many notable persons have also expounded them better and I highly recommend you seek them too. Any originality on my part is solely confined on distilling all that I’ve learned about the doctrine for 40 years and arranging them into commentaries. I do not claim that the commentaries are definitive nor exhaustive of the doctrine. They are just that, commentaries. Of course, the poems are my own, unless otherwise indicated. l
Let us continue our exploration of the 6th World- the World of Heaven.
If the 5th World (Humanity) is about calmness, then “Joy is the world of Heaven (6th World)”- Nichiren Daishonin (Major Writings Vol1, p52). Joy emerges when a desire is fulfilled. The world of Heaven is characterized by having one’s desires fulfilled, especially material desires. It is because of this characteristic that many aspired to attain this state of life categorized as “Heaven”.
Reportedly, in the ancient world of India, reaching this world is very difficult that it seems it is only attained by a select few. Those whose accumulated good deeds are counted in kalpas, lifetimes and ages are said to emerged in this state of life - the world of Heaven in their present lifetime as a reward for past deeds.
Moreover, it was believed that breaking through the first five (5) worlds to reach Heaven, is so difficult, it seems one is destined to wallow in the lower worlds like it is a fixed path. Thus, those in the lower worlds seemingly tend to stay in those lower worlds almost endlessly. Probably, such a belief is one of the basis behind the emergence of ancient India’s caste system. Perhaps of shogunate Japan as well. Perhaps.
Reportedly, people are differentiated based on the life-conditions they’ve emerged into. Chandala (lowest caste) or Brahmin (the highest station). The latter reportedly having more societal privileges. Whether this is correct or not, I assume the doctrine of the six (6) worlds already existed and prevailing in Ancient India prior to Siddhartha’s royal birth as a prince.
Back to the topic of the 6th world- Heaven, logically, a prince is born into a world where material desires are easily fulfilled. One grows up and is made aware of this karmic privilege. But the story goes that prince Siddhartha left that life of abundance. Left that much coveted “seat in Heaven”. Why? Why would a person in such a lofty station, decide to abandon a lofty state of secular life that so many others can only dream of?
Would I? Would you? It is hard to imagine, a billionaire, doing that. Much more a wealthy prince. But prince Siddhartha did. Why? What fundamental shortcoming does a “life in Heaven” got that no resources at a king’s command can’t fix?
Of course we’ve read the story of him going out of the palace gates four times. Each time, seeing a “novelty”. The birth of a child, an old person’s struggles, a very sickly person’s pains, and last, death. But to everyone these are regular and ordinary events. The lot of human beings. Are those novelty sights enough to abandon one’s seat in “heaven”?
If, as a very wealthy man, the questions that assaults your intellect are so difficult to answer, why not hire more brilliant tutors? Surely with a princely wealth one can afford them. If the suffering you’ve seen is so utterly unacceptable, why not start a hospital, a school of doctors, or put up a charity foundation? There are a whole lot of solutions available to a wealthy man. More so to a royal. Surely there is no need for total abandonment of one’s “seat in heaven”. But the prince, Siddhartha, did.
What was so pressing and urgent that total abandonment is the only solution? What could one possibly gain on a solitary quest, whose outcome is so uncertain? Siddhartha did just that and with only his hope and prayers to lean on.
“Prayer was not born of religion, rather religion was born of prayer” my mentor in life Sensei Daisaku Ikeda wrote (Conversations on the Lotus Sutra, From Today Onward, 59, Vol16 page12).
What do you think were the feelings of Siddhartha, when he took the first steps out of the palace on his solitary quest? I can only wonder.
Anyhow, we’ve reached this milestone, the topic of the 6th world- Heaven. We are on a quest too. And... we are together. I am sure, the Lord Sakyamuni, wouldn’t mind us singing a tune of Seals and Crofts - This Day Belongs To Me, to accompany us on our quest.
This is the door I have waited so long to open
This is the day when I'm given my room to breathe
One chance in a lifetime, and my name is on the key
I say this day belongs to me. I believe it
If the stars are in my corner I'll have love and laughter
This day belongs to me.
