Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation by Steven Johnson makes that cut. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s ever had bursts of inspiration and wondered why they haven’t been able to replicate those circumstances, or anyone who wants to innovate at all. Candidly, I’m blown away.

These are all valid and important ways to measure leadership, and many others exist. However, the true — and more telling — measure of leadership is long-term and cannot easily be seen. Leadership is best measured by what you leave behind. Some people become frustrated by the lack of immediate results.

Research from two well-respected organizations makes it clear that we have a big collective blind spot that’s dragging down productivity, innovation and economic performance. Leadership is all about the human experience. If they prove to be unable to connect with the people they manage, they shouldn’t be in leadership roles.

Persistence in leadership is analogous to running a marathon. To succeed in leadership you have to work hard and continually hone your interpersonal skills. Success in leadership comes from developing and perfecting persistence and determination. You find ways to motivate successful teamwork and positive interaction.

I don’t know about you, but it’s almost as if we have raised a generation of leaders who feel they have a moral and ethical obligation to be politically correct – WRONG. Even the term change, a concept once reserved for the innovative and revolutionary, has been hi-jacked by the politically correct. How sad is this?

What’s more, with so many different personality styles on your team, finding leadership tactics that work across the board can be a challenge. Be innovative. You’ll be seen as an innovator and not just someone who goes along with the group. Be true to yourself and present your own ideas confidently.

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.

Values such as work ethic, excellence and open-mindedness can be cultivated with practice. Some leaders who do this fail to develop what is arguably the most important character value: humility. Humility is not easily developed when you have wealth, power and/or status. It’s especially difficult to develop humility without the help of others.
