Summary
This chapter will set the table for your personal decisions when considering taking a leadership position and what should go into your thinking as you’re weighing your options. It covers what goes into understanding the position itself and how to find out the crucial details and duties it requires. It then discusses the leadership “phenotype” – what personal skills you bring to the role and whether the role will be a good “fit” for you. It probes what motivates you to be a leader and why, and whether that will give you a durable effect. Finally, it helps you to look at the career move in the context of your overall career, and whether the position will bridge you to something greater in the long run, or whether it’s a dead end. This chapter sets the stage for what comes next, an understanding of your personality as a leader.
