Leadership is about choosing between 2 Rights. We all come across business situations or situations at home everyday which demand us to make decisions, most of those decisions are straightforward. But on everyday basis we also come across situations where we have to choose between long term/short term, speed/quality, promotion for one out of the two outstanding colleagues;it is excruciating to choose between these 2 Rights. There are numerous other situations which demand of us to choose between 2 rights.
How do you choose between these 2 rights ?
How do you make that critical choice?
These choices define who you are.
We have to choose between spending time on a subordinate review versus go to an averagely important meeting and it is the politically right place to be in the organisation. What do you do in such situation determines what kind of Leader are you? What is the right decision to make?
It is your small choices on a daily basis which make you the Leader you become.
Our choices determine who we are and our dilemmas make us who we become. Dilemmas are an important test of leadership and managerial styles. If you are stuck in a situation of selecting people for your team (for a job, project etc.) or promoting them to a new position, ask them a dilemma question and you will get your answer, they will provide you a view of the hidden self and you can start looking for a pattern before you come to the conclusion.
You can double check it by asking another dilemma question in a different setting and look for patterns.

It is easy to choose between Red Light and Green Light, it is when the light is "Yellow" that the choices begin to dictate who you are. If you are in Delhi or North of India a "Yellow" light means speed up and push that accelerator to the floor. Most of the other places I know of people shift from accelerator to brakes. But that choice makes you the person you become.

People behave in a patterned way when asked dilemma questions. Ask yourself some of them and you will come to know as to what kind of person are you. It is the easiest test to knowing yourself.
