This document discusses level 5 leadership and the characteristics that distinguish it from level 4 leadership. Level 5 leaders are highly ambitious for their company's success and are more focused on the company's greatness than their own personal image or legacy. They have a fierce will and drive results while also displaying compelling humility by deflecting credit to others. The operating style of level 5 leaders includes focusing first on the right people, confronting brutal facts, having a clear focus or "hedgehog concept", maintaining disciplined processes, and using technology strategically to accelerate progress.
