The past several months have tested leaders across the planet; from politicians and C-suite execs down to middle management. Many people who hold the position of leader, but perhaps without much in the way of experience, have learned on the job what that position demands. It may be helpful for all leaders to step back, take a breath and ask if your leadership is measuring up.
Dr. Travis Bradberry, author or “Emotional Intelligence 2.0” and “The Seagull Manager “ offers a brief leadership inventory that may help you judge yourself in two key areas that constitute much of leadership: Certainty and Conviction. This short post by Dr. Bradbury, How Great Leaders Confront a Crisis, offers an interesting checklist for these two key areas.
Quiz yourself and see how you measure up to the checklists.
