In [[Good to Great]], Jim Collins talks about a particular flavor of leader he found in organizations that made the good-to-great transition -- what he calls the "level 5 leader".

* Level 1 - "Highly Capable Individual - Makes productive contributions through talent, knowledge, skills, and good work habits."
* Level 2 - "Contributing Team Member - Contributes individual capabilities to the achievement of group objectives and works effectively with others in a group setting."
* Level 3 - "Competent Manager - Organizes people and resources toward the effective and efficient pursuit of predetermined objectives."
* Level 4 - "Effective Leader - Catalyzes commitment to and vigorous pursuit of a clear and compelling vision, stimulating higher performance standards."
* Level 5 - "Level 5 Executive - Builds enduring greatness through a paradoxical blend of personal humility and professional will."

The L5L actually exemplifies a number of essentially Christian leadership values, albeit displaced from their [[theological]] roots and instead argued for on a pragmatic basis.  Pray that the Lord would send His church L5L's who love [[Jesus Christ]].
