Are You Ready to Lead? A One Question Test from the British Army and the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra

By Mike Schultz, Publisher, and John Doerr, Contributing Editor

Let's pick on corporate leaders. They're easy targets these days. Alive and well are the blatant and vain excesses of the '80s: $6,000 shower curtains, marble toilets, and rare art, but, for sure, these excesses pale in comparison with the criminal greed uncovered in recent years. The shift in the news away from corporate leader-as-hero may not be totally warranted, but the shake up is certain to create plenty of new leadership slots for the corporate captains of tomorrow.

To help find out if you have what it takes—not just to assume one of these positions, but to restore a bit of faith in the roles themselves—I have prepared a simple test.
