Leading Like a Rock Star Does Not Make You a Rock Star

We live in a world that is dominated by personalities. The strong ones lead and influence. The weak trail and do what they're told.

At least, that's what we believe. But, in reality, the best leaders don't stick to this mold.

In his book, "Good to Great," author Jim Collins breaks leadership down into five levels. To his surprise, the study revealed that the level five (top level) leader was not the egocentric, self-absorbed person we might imagine. Instead, Collins says that some of the biggest personalities only produced moderate results.

The best leaders -- the level five leaders -- shared one characteristic.

Humility.
