What Kind Of Leader Are You?

I read articles on leadership from time to time. As NCC grows (we will have 12 full-time staff of all levels, including me this year) I like to keep an interest on team management/leading etc. Recently, I took an online test at www.trustedadvisor.com which offers a ‘trust quotient self diagnostic test’.
