Count how many leaders for whom you have worked, played, or performed in the past.

This number should include any position in which you were in a followership role. Once you have a total, count how many of these leaders for whom you would willingly work, play, or perform again. Then calculate the ratio of effective managers to total managers.

What was the overall average and range of ratios for your group or class? What were the common characteristics of those who designated as the best and worst leaders for your group or class? What do these ratios say about how well organizations select and develop their leaders?
