We are not going to go into the age-old question of leaders being made or born. The award winning book, Good to Great, talks about 5 levels of leadership with Level 5 being at the top. Level 5 leaders are humble but relentless in their pursuit of the organization’s success. They accept blame for failures but deflect praise towards others. Are these traits innate or learned? Clearly, some are an inherent part of the leader’s personality. But other key aspects of exceptional leadership can be learned through professional development programs.
