One for our born leaders
Take the E test that separates those in charge from the people who will never lead | Daily Mail Online
so who is self obsessed enough to get to the top?Have YOU got what it takes to be the boss? Take the five-second test that separates those in charge from the people who will never move up the career ladder
'E' trick developed by professors Adam Galinsky and Maurice Schweitzer
Experiment discovered common trait people in senior roles share
Authors published findings in new business book called Friend & Foe
ARE YOU BOSS MATERIAL? TAKE THE FIVE-SECOND TEST
Without thinking about it, trace the capital letter 'E' on your forehead using your finger.
E-to-self: If the letter is written so it only makes sense to you it shows that you are self-orientated and have traits commonly found in powerful people.
E-to-others: If the letter is written so it makes sense to others but not yourself it shows you consider people's perspectives but may not be cut-throat enough to make it to the top.
