Look though recent magazines and newspapers and identify one leader who
seems to illustrate the “Leader as Hero” mindset and one who seems more typical
of the humble level 5 leader described in the text. Describe their differing and
characteristics. Which was easier to find?
Bill Gate, can be identify as a “leader as hero” because since he was young he tried to work hard,
he also built a strong long-term organization by supporting and developing. He can be a hero
because of the fact that he and his wife are currently spending a great deal of his time and money
for charity corroborates to his.
"Level 5" refers to the highest level in a hierarchy of executive capabilities that we identified
during our research. 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.” As it
mention in the book Level 5 leader is often seem humble and introverted, very passionate and
professional, as an example of it I believe Obama can stand as a level 5 leader because his great
personal humility and professional will, He knows how to manage diverse group of people
without hurting feelings, egos, emotions. Obama is chosen as a leader since he entered to the
White House by trying to end the terrorism and turning around the economy.
