Leadership Test

 

 

 

 

 

To find out if you're a true leader, see if you possess these qualities:

-     Leaders start projects by asking What has to be done? instead of What do I need?

-     Leaders next ask What do I have to do to make a real contribution?  The answer best suits the leader's strengths and the needs of the project.

-     Leaders continually ask What are my organization's purposes and objectives?  and What qualifies as acceptable performance and adds to the bottom line?

-     Leaders don't want clones of themselves as employees.  They never ask Do I like or dislike this employee?  But they won't tolerate poor performance.

    Leaders aren't threatened by others who have strengths they lack.
