While I appreciate the great oratory skills of those who communicate using wonderful word pictures, or the academics who can wax eloquent while always using the best form of prose, I prefer my business communication to be quick and dirty. Brevity is rare because it takes both skill and effort to simplify the complex.

The short answer is yes…There are in fact a great number of tests that can quickly assess leadership ability. Something as simple as a 360 Review, or as complex as a deep psychological profile (both with weighted emphasis on leadership aptitude) can point out an individual’s leadership capabilities.

Here’s the thing - leadership and conflict go hand-in-hand. Leadership is a full-contact sport, and if you cannot address conflict in a healthy, productive fashion then you should not be in a leadership role. If so, you likely have issues with conflict.

You cannot separate leadership from decisioning, for like it or not, they are inexorably linked. Making sound decisions is a skill set that needs to be developed like any other. And in some cases they compound bad decision upon bad decision. The truth is that even leaders who don’t fail make bad decisions from time-to-time.

This isn’t rocket science, rather it’s just plain-old, good leadership. It is my experience that they either lack the personal skill sets, or haven’t built the right executive team to lead change, they just don’t recognize the need for change, or they just don’t care.

In fact, there are some very bright people who believe you cannot become a good leader without developing a mastery for using the word no as evidenced by the following quote from Tony Blair: “The art of leadership is saying no , not saying yes.” While inherently obvious, it should not go unnoticed that the use of the word no is 100% negative.

So, how did it all look back in the ‘good ol’ days’ and how and why did it change, well; Back in the late 80’s and 90’s top leadership roles recruited for, in the boardroom and on the executive committee, would often be trigged via an ‘old boys clubs’ hire. Start of the Dot.com era changed the way recruiting top talent was done.

This is the essential point. Jeff Bezos gets this, too.

As a Pastor, we decided we would do church very different than most other churches similar to us. In the Bible belt this is very questionable.
