The Tests of a Leader

In this webinar, Tom describes five tests that nearly all leaders face: initiation (becoming the boss, taking the reins), battle, defeat, reintention, and--the ultimate test--telling the truth to oneself and others.

Leaders are always, in matters great and small, being tested. Everybody watches the first decision a new boss makes-it's a test. The way a leader handles a crisis is a test: It increases his political capital, or bankrupts him.

The test may come from outside, like an act of war or a competitor's move. It may be organizational, such as launching a new business. It may come from within, like a disease.
