These tests will help you isolate some crucial finer points of manager behavior and they have helped me and my reports understand specific areas to work on and constantly focus on becoming better. The tests were initially written as a way for my direct reports to understand what I expect from them, therefore the weird tone of the discourse. 

If you are a middle manager or a recently promoted manager you can adapt easily to your particular situation. 

In the next weeks I will periodically post these tests in this blog. Comments and feedback are encouraged. Enjoy.
