What’s Next?

In case you were wondering, there is no value in the assessment you just completed—the value lies in what you do next. Here are a few suggestions for you to consider.

Look at the four sections of the assessment. How can you do more in the area in which you scored the highest?

Next, look at the area in which you are the least proficient today. Pick one item—just one—and create a plan. For example, if you realized that in the Walk toward Wisdom section you don’t have a group of people you can trust to give you counsel on important issues, you can start today forming a personal board of directors. Or, if you had a low score on frequently sharing what you’re learning with others, think of someone you can meet with to share what you’ve learned in this book.

After you’ve successfully done one thing, choose another. When you’ve done them all, start over and do them again. Don’t stop. The point is to stay on the journey.

If there were a bonus question, we can think of one that is worth more than the twenty you just read. It is this:

Do you want to be a leader for life?

That is the question that really matters. If you remember only one thing from this book, we hope that it is this:

Your capacity to GROW determines your capacity to lead!
