Since you don’t expect others to be responsible for your self-esteem at Level 4, the idea that you might be responsible for someone else’s self-esteem seldom crosses your mind. People who report to Level 4 leaders frequently complain that they don’t receive positive feedback, only criticism. Level 4 leaders need to recognize that those who look to them for leadership may be so tied to (and defined by) the goal or initiative that they might take any sort of criticism (even about the goal or initiative) personally.

One of the best studies was done by Kimberly Stanhope and Peter Havel from the University of California, Davis. They took overweight men and women and provided meals in which 25 per cent of the calories were from glucose or 25 percent from fructose. Individuals took these meals for 10 weeks. Fat accumulation was measured at the beginning and end of the study using special X-rays (computerized tomography or CT scanning). In those individuals that ate a fructose-enriched diet, there was a significant increase in visceral fat compared to those given a glucose-based diet.115 The fructose fed individuals also developed worse insulin resistance and higher serum triglycerides following their meals.
