Welcome! Are you in a management role? If so, you should know what beliefs and behaviors of yours put you more in the "manager" camp versus ones that make you more of a leader. Answer with brutal honesty--the more truth you give your answers, the more you will get an accurate reading! A score of over 80% "correct" means you tend to be a leader. Below that, you may want to reconsider some of your beliefs about leadership. -David Peck, Executive Coach (http://www.leadershipunleashed.com/
