I think this is a good article that shows how qualitative and quantitative research methods can complement each other, and give a better picture of a situation than just applying statistical analyses like a blunt instrument in the hopes of finding statistically significant trends in the data. Level 5 Leaders seemed to be able to break companies' current systems that are counter productive to the companies success. They do this by creating a system of openness and trust with their management team, and then allow them to participate in developing a clear vision of where the company is going in the next 5 and 10 plus years. They also give their people all the credit and they never shrink away from the mistakes.
I have successfully passed multiple undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics, econometrics, and regression analysis. These courses taught me that the only sound research that is supportable and even worth reading was statistical analyses based on quantitative research methods. Fortunately, I have taking a very liberal course in Sports Physiology which touted the benefits of qualitative research methods in discovering variables that have significances in creating results, but can not be measured affectively though Quantitative methods.
Like I said in previously a few blogs back, regarding “'Good to Great, or Just Good?' Interesting statistical evaluation of an article that could not be supported based off of the existing evidence. I would think that maybe the author was looking at other things as well, and maybe if all the managers in the United States think the book is in the top 10 business books in America or the World for that matter, that maybe it has something that the Evidence-Based Management can not see.
